Tillatoba Creek Ws Str Y-17b-17 Dam dam
Tillatoba Creek Ws Str Y-17b-17 Dam
Tillatoba Creek WS Str Y-17b-17 Dam, also known as Mose Taylor Lake, is a local government-owned structure located in Charleston, Mississippi. Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1977, this earth-type dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Tillatoba Creek. With a height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 671 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in mitigating potential flooding events in the area.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Tillatoba Creek Dam has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of its last assessment in 2009. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway type and outlet gates maintain the dam's functionality to regulate water flow effectively. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the structure continues to play a vital role in water resource management and climate adaptation efforts in the region.
Overall, Tillatoba Creek WS Str Y-17b-17 Dam stands as a testament to successful collaboration between local government entities and federal agencies in safeguarding the community against potential flood risks. With its strategic location and design, this dam exemplifies the importance of proactive infrastructure development in enhancing water resource resilience and climate change adaptation in Mississippi.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.
Plan around the weather

About Tillatoba Creek Ws Str Y-17b-17 Dam
Where does the data for Tillatoba Creek Ws Str Y-17b-17 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
