Summary
Designed by NRCS and regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this structure plays a significant role in managing water resources in the area. With a dam height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 94.5 acre-feet, it helps mitigate the risk of flooding in the region.
The structure, primarily constructed for flood risk reduction, boasts a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. While it is not currently rated for its condition, the presence of this earth dam contributes to the overall water management efforts in the Senatobia Creek watershed. Due to its uncontrolled spillway type and a drainage area of 0.2 square miles, the structure serves as a strategic asset in safeguarding the community against potential water-related emergencies.
Although lacking specific details on its completion year and inspection history, Senatobia Creek Watershed Structure Y-7-04 remains a critical element in the water infrastructure of the Vicksburg District. With its location coordinates at 34.5325° N and -89.75055556° W, this structure stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private owners and regulatory agencies in ensuring the resilience of the watershed to climate and water resource challenges.

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.
