Summary
Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1958, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR- Little Bogue Creek. The dam has a height of 23 feet and a storage capacity of 465 acre-feet, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Bogue Watershed Dam is state-regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, the dam poses a low hazard potential but is considered to have a moderate risk level. Despite not having a condition assessment rating, the dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the Montgomery County area.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find the Bogue Watershed Structure Y-30-051 Dam to be a significant asset in managing flood risks in the region. Its construction, design, and regulatory oversight highlight the importance of maintaining infrastructure for water management and environmental protection. As climate change continues to impact water resources, dams like the Bogue Watershed Dam play a critical role in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from the threats of flooding and water scarcity.

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.
