Summary
Built in 1958 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Little Mouse Creek. Standing at a height of 24 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 949 acre-feet and is classified as having a low hazard potential.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Bogue Watershed Structure Y-30-043 Dam is regulated and inspected by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam has been rated as having a moderate risk level (3) and its condition is currently not assessed. With its strategic location and design, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks and protecting the local community in Sweatman.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Bogue Watershed Structure Y-30-043 Dam represents a significant infrastructure for flood management in Mississippi. Its construction, ownership, and regulatory oversight highlight the collaborative efforts between local government agencies and federal entities like the USDA NRCS. As climate change continues to impact water resources, dams like this one will play a crucial role in adapting to and mitigating the effects of extreme weather events 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.
