Summary
Built in 1963 by the USDA NRCS, this earth-type dam stands at 18 feet high and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR- Little Bogue Creek. With a storage capacity of 432 acre-feet, the dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Bogue WS Str Y-30-057 Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and lacks an emergency action plan. Despite these shortcomings, the dam has not undergone any modifications and is not regulated by federal agencies. While it currently operates with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, the dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are yet to be prepared, leaving room for improvement in emergency preparedness and response.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find the Bogue WS Str Y-30-057 Dam an interesting case study in local government dam management. With its historical significance in flood risk reduction and its location in the ecologically diverse surroundings of Montgomery, Mississippi, this dam presents an opportunity for further research and exploration into sustainable water resource management practices in the region.

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.
