Summary
Constructed in 1958 by the USDA NRCS, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 21 feet and serves primarily for flood risk reduction along the TR- Little Bogue Creek. With a storage capacity of 600 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Bogue Watershed Structure Y-30-053 Dam is state-regulated and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, prompting the need for ongoing risk management measures. While the structure has not been rated for its condition, it remains a key component in the watershed's infrastructure, contributing to the overall water management efforts in the region.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find the Bogue Watershed Structure Y-30-053 Dam to be an intriguing example of flood risk reduction infrastructure in Mississippi. With its history dating back to the late 1950s, this dam continues to play a vital role in protecting the surrounding areas from potential flooding events. As efforts to manage water resources and mitigate climate impacts intensify, understanding and monitoring structures like this dam are essential for sustainable water management practices 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.
