This earth dam, with a height of 7 feet and a length of 420 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes along the UNT of Straight Fence Creek. The dam has a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and is classified as having a low hazard potential with a fair condition assessment.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam undergoes regular inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The last inspection in June 2016 revealed a moderate risk level, prompting the need to assess and implement risk management measures. With an uncontrolled spillway type and no associated locks, the dam's emergency action plan status and inundation mapping preparedness remain unclear. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Nadia Lake Subdivision Dam presents an intriguing case study of a privately-owned recreational structure in Mississippi's water management landscape.
