Summary
Built in 1970 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 152 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this dam is flood risk reduction, serving as a crucial infrastructure to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Cypress Creek Watershed Structure Y-19a-13 Dam is state-regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, this dam plays a significant role in mitigating flood risks in the region. While it has not been rated for its condition assessment, the dam continues to serve its purpose effectively, contributing to the overall water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the area.
Situated on the TR- COOL BRANCH river/stream and under the jurisdiction of the Vicksburg District, Cypress Creek Watershed Structure Y-19a-13 Dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between local government agencies, federal designers, and state regulatory bodies in safeguarding communities against potential water-related disasters. Its strategic location, design, and operational measures make it a vital component of the water resource infrastructure, ensuring the sustainable management of water resources and climate adaptation 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.
