This Earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and has state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Located within the Vicksburg District, the dam has an undetermined hazard potential and is currently rated as not assessed in terms of condition. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not been inspected recently, and emergency action plans are not in place. With a spillway type of 'Uncontrolled', the dam's risk management measures and safety protocols may need to be reassessed and strengthened to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the sustainability of the water resource in the area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam presents an opportunity for further exploration and study into the intersection of water management, recreational use, and environmental protection.
