Summary
Standing at a height of 19 feet with a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, this earth dam serves as a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts seeking water-based activities. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards.
Despite its low hazard potential, Brock Pond Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures. While the dam has not been rated for its condition, it has not undergone any major modifications or inspections in recent years. With an uncontrolled spillway type and no locks or outlet gates, the dam's emergency action plan and risk assessment could be areas of improvement to enhance its overall safety and resilience to potential climate-related challenges.
As a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts, Brock Pond Dam offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of recreational activities with environmental conservation. With its picturesque location and strategic importance in water management, this dam serves as a valuable asset to the local community and a subject of interest for those passionate about sustainable water resource management in the face of a changing climate.

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.
