Summary

Completed in 1960 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Pruill Creek. The dam has a storage capacity of 149 acre-feet and is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure safety and compliance.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Bogue WS Str Y-30-107 Dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a buttress core type and soil foundation. While the dam is currently in a not-rated condition assessment status, it remains an important structure for managing water resources and protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of dams like Bogue WS Str Y-30-107 Dam in maintaining water security and resilience to climate impacts is essential for sustainable water management practices.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
