Summary
Standing at a height of 15 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 160-acre feet and is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. Despite its moderate hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently rated as 'Not Rated,' indicating a need for further evaluation to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
This uncontrolled spillway dam, with a buttress core type, remains in operation within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The dam's risk assessment is categorized as moderate, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and risk management measures. With its undetermined hazard potential, the dam's emergency action plan status and inundation maps are yet to be fully prepared, underscoring the need for proactive safety measures and compliance with regulatory guidelines to mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation.
As a key feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts in Lee County, Mississippi, W D Webb Lake Dam serves as a recreational hub while also posing a potential risk that necessitates careful monitoring and maintenance. Its location and purpose make it an integral part of the local landscape, emphasizing the importance of sustainable dam management practices to ensure the safety and well-being of nearby communities and the surrounding environment.

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.
