Summary

Constructed in 1958 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a storage capacity of 391 acre-feet. It is designed to regulate the flow of TR-Little Bogue Creek during periods of heavy rainfall, helping to mitigate flooding in the surrounding area.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Bogue Watershed Structure Y-30-084 Dam is classified as having low hazard potential and a fair condition assessment as of its last inspection in April 2016. While the dam primarily serves the purpose of flood risk reduction, it also contributes to water resource management in the region. Despite its age, the dam continues to play a crucial role in protecting the community from potential water-related hazards.

With its association with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and its moderate risk assessment rating, the Bogue Watershed Structure Y-30-084 Dam remains an important piece of infrastructure in the area. Its strategic location and design help to ensure the safety and well-being of residents in Elliott and the surrounding areas, making it a vital component of water resource and climate management efforts in Mississippi.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
