Summary
Built in 1963 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a storage capacity of 1431 acre-feet. The dam is designed to mitigate flood risks along the Mouse Creek, serving as a critical piece of the local water resource management system.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Bogue Watershed Structure Y-30-089 Dam is state-regulated and subject to regular inspections to ensure its operational safety. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam received an unsatisfactory condition assessment in 2016. With an emphasis on flood risk reduction, the dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding Montgomery County community from potential water-related disasters.
Although the dam's condition assessment has raised concerns about its long-term effectiveness, it remains a key component in the flood risk management strategy for the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources and weather patterns, structures like the Bogue Watershed Y-30-089 Dam will be essential in safeguarding communities against the threat of flooding. With ongoing monitoring and maintenance, this dam will continue to play a vital role in managing water resources and climate resilience in Montgomery, Mississippi.

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.
