Flood Water Retarding Structure Site 35 dam
Flood Water Retarding Structure Site 35
Flood Water Retarding Structure Site 35, also known as Fwrs #35, is a federal water management structure located in Holmes, Mississippi. Completed in 2010 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, this structure serves multiple purposes, including flood risk reduction. With a dam height of 54 feet and a storage capacity of 4850 acre-feet, the site plays a significant role in managing water levels along the SHIPP CREEK.
As a critical infrastructure with a significant hazard potential, Flood Water Retarding Structure Site 35 is regularly monitored and maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The agency actively manages dam-related flood risks by implementing risk management measures, conducting inspections, and updating emergency action plans. In the event of severe weather events or increased water inflows, the dam releases water to maintain structural integrity and prevent flooding downstream. Collaboration with local emergency managers and the public is essential in raising awareness and ensuring readiness for any potential emergencies.
Overall, Flood Water Retarding Structure Site 35 is a vital component of flood control in the region, with ongoing efforts to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of surrounding communities. The US Army Corps of Engineers continues to work towards improving the dam's resilience and response capabilities, highlighting the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness in water resource and climate management.

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 Flood Water Retarding Structure Site 35
Where does the data for Flood Water Retarding Structure Site 35 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 Significant 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.
