Summary
Designed by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 15 feet with a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, offering a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Duluth Snowden Pond Dam is state-regulated and regularly inspected to ensure its safety and integrity. With an undetermined hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this dam highlights the importance of proper risk management measures in safeguarding water resources and surrounding communities. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway and outlet gates serve as essential features for managing water flow during periods of high discharge, emphasizing the importance of effective dam infrastructure in mitigating potential risks.
As part of the Vicksburg District, this dam showcases the collaboration between private ownership, state regulation, and federal design involvement in managing water resources for recreational purposes. With its picturesque location and historical significance, Duluth Snowden Pond Dam serves as a reminder of the intricate balance between human recreation and environmental conservation in maintaining sustainable water systems amid changing climate conditions.

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.
