H T Stubbs Lake Dam dam
H T Stubbs Lake Dam
H T Stubbs Lake Dam, located in Madison, Mississippi, is a privately owned dam regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The dam, classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type, stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet, primarily serving the purpose of recreation. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, indicating a need for further evaluation and maintenance.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and poses no immediate threat to surrounding areas. While the dam has not been inspected in recent years, it is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With a focus on recreation, H T Stubbs Lake Dam offers water enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy its serene surroundings and recreational activities. Its location within the Vicksburg District adds to its appeal for those interested in water resources and climate-related developments in the region.
Overall, H T Stubbs Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the importance of proper dam management and regulation in maintaining safety and sustainability. As a privately owned structure with state oversight, the dam stands as a reminder of the delicate balance between human recreation and environmental protection. With a focus on risk management and potential future assessments, H T Stubbs Lake Dam serves as a valuable example of the complexities involved in managing water resources in a changing climate landscape.

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 H T Stubbs Lake Dam
Where does the data for H T Stubbs Lake 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.
