Constructed in 1964 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR- Pelucia Creek. With a height of 39 feet and a length of 1123 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 2052 acre-feet and a drainage area of 9.82 square miles.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the condition assessment of the Pelucia Watershed Dam is marked as unsatisfactory, last inspected in May 2015. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway, with a maximum discharge capacity of 3225 cubic feet per second. While the risk assessment is moderate, there is no emergency action plan in place, and the structure does not meet guidelines for inundation maps or emergency contacts. Overall, for water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Pelucia Watershed Structure Y-33a-01 Dam presents an intriguing case study in flood risk reduction and dam safety management in Mississippi.
