Hall Lake Ms02054 Dam dam
Hall Lake Ms02054 Dam
Located in Stone County, Mississippi, the Hall Lake Ms02054 Dam is a private-owned structure primarily used for recreational purposes. With a height of 14 feet and a storage capacity of 280 acre-feet, this earth dam with buttress core types serves as a low hazard potential site with a moderate risk assessment score of 3. The dam is state-regulated and inspected by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations.
Although the exact year of completion is not specified, the Hall Lake Dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the region. With uncontrolled spillways and no associated locks or outlet gates, the dam primarily serves to provide recreational opportunities for the local community. Despite its condition being labeled as "not rated", the moderate risk assessment suggests that proper risk management measures are in place to ensure the safety of the structure and surrounding areas.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Hall Lake Ms02054 Dam presents a fascinating case study of a privately-owned recreational dam in Mississippi. Its location, design, and purpose offer valuable insights into the intersection of human activities with natural resources, highlighting the need for responsible stewardship and sustainable practices. As climate change continues to impact water systems, understanding and managing dams like Hall Lake become increasingly crucial for ensuring the resilience and safety of communities in the face of environmental challenges.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Hall Lake Ms02054 Dam
Where does the data for Hall Lake Ms02054 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
