Summary
The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, specifically for the Adams Egg Farm Lake. It has a height of 12 feet and a storage capacity of 108 acre-feet, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is inspected, permitted, and enforced by the state agency. It is situated along TR- Bakers Creek and falls under the jurisdiction of the Vicksburg District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The spillway type is uncontrolled with uncontrolled outlet gates, making it essential to monitor and manage water levels during periods of heavy precipitation or flooding.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment suggest that it is generally stable. However, regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to ensure the safety and integrity of Adams Egg Farm Lake Dam for continued recreational use and water resource management in the area.

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.
