Summary
The dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 108 acre-feet. It is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring compliance with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. While the dam's condition assessment is not rated, it is considered to meet safety guidelines and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway.
Located in Scott County, Mississippi, the dam is situated within the jurisdiction of the state and is under the oversight of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Its design features a buttress core type, and it is designated as an uncontrolled spillway structure. Although the dam's construction year is not specified, its risk management measures are in place to mitigate potential hazards. With no associated structures and a focus on recreational use, Jack Stewart Pond Dam serves as a vital water resource for the local community while balancing environmental considerations and safety protocols.

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.
