Summary
The dam, with a height of 15 feet, was completed by the Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs and has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. Despite lacking detailed information on its purposes and design, the dam is classified as low hazard potential with a condition assessment currently unavailable.
Located within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District, the lake is under the oversight of the DOI BIA and is not funded by federal agencies. While lacking certain key data points such as the spillway type and maximum discharge, the dam is reported to be in a condition where its emergency action plan status is not available. With no recent inspection date provided, it remains unknown if the EAP is up-to-date or meets current guidelines.
Indian Reservation Lake 2 represents an intriguing case for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its unique ownership structure and state-regulated status in Mississippi. The low hazard potential of the dam coupled with the lack of detailed information on its management and infrastructure present an opportunity for further research and exploration in understanding the complexities of water resource management in the region.

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.
