Eden Creek Ws Str Y-37d-10 Dam Reservoir Report
Last Updated: March 3, 2026
Eden Creek WS Str Y-37d-10 Dam, also known as Shoop's Lake, is a vital structure in Yazoo, Mississippi, designed by the USDA NRCS in 1975 for flood risk reduction along the UNT of Deadman Bayou.
Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 47 feet with a hydraulic height of 41 feet, providing a storage capacity of 416 acre-feet. Despite its crucial role in mitigating flood risks, the dam is currently assessed to be in poor condition with a high hazard potential, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Eden Creek WS Str Y-37d-10 Dam serves as a critical infrastructure for protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. With a surface area of 11.5 acres and a drainage area of 0.49 square miles, the dam plays a significant role in managing water flow and reducing the risk of inundation in the region. However, its condition assessment and risk rating indicate the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to safeguard the community and environment from potential hazards.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to recognize the importance of maintaining and investing in infrastructure like Eden Creek WS Str Y-37d-10 Dam to ensure the safety and resilience of communities in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing flood risks. By staying informed about the condition and management of such critical structures, we can contribute to sustainable water resource management and climate adaptation efforts, ultimately safeguarding our environment and enhancing our resilience to future 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.
