This Earth dam, with a height of 18 feet, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR- BATUPAN BOGUE CREEK. The dam has a storage capacity of 262 acre-feet and is owned by the local government.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure its safety and effectiveness. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the Bogue Watershed Structure Y-30-108 Dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area. Despite not being rated for its current condition, the dam continues to serve its purpose and protect the surrounding community.
While the dam does not have controlled spillways or outlet gates, its uncontrolled spillway type allows for excess water to flow through during periods of heavy rainfall. With its foundations built on soil and a buttress core type, this dam stands as a testament to effective flood risk reduction infrastructure in the region.
