Summary
The dam, designed by USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 20 feet and serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, ensuring water management and safety.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining its structural integrity and safety standards. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, the Indian Reservation Lake Dam remains a key infrastructure for water resource management in the region, offering recreational opportunities and contributing to the local ecosystem. With a focus on risk management measures and emergency preparedness, the dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding community and environment from potential hazards.
As a part of the Mobile District in Mississippi, the Indian Reservation Lake Dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private ownership and state regulatory agencies in ensuring the sustainable utilization of water resources. With its earth core structure and buttress design, the dam exemplifies the harmonious balance between human recreation and environmental conservation, embodying a model for responsible dam management in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource challenges.

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.
