Summary
Constructed in 1963 by USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR- Pelucia Creek. With a storage capacity of 1037 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its importance in flood control, the Pelucia Watershed Dam has been assessed as having a high hazard potential and unsatisfactory condition as of August 2018. Inspected every five years, the dam poses moderate risk according to the latest assessment. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this structure features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, emphasizing the need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in flood mitigation.
As an integral part of the local water infrastructure, the Pelucia Watershed Structure Y-33a-14 Dam serves as a critical line of defense against flooding in the area. With its strategic location and design by USDA NRCS, this dam not only protects the surrounding community but also highlights the importance of proactive risk management and maintenance to safeguard water resources and mitigate potential hazards.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
