Summary
Completed in 1961, this private dam stands at a height of 8.8 feet and has a storage capacity of 77.5 acre-feet, providing a surface area of 10 acres for various water-based activities. Despite its small size, the dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring that it meets state standards for safety and environmental impact.
With a primary purpose of recreation, Multip Manor Lake Dam offers a serene setting for fishing, boating, and other leisure pursuits. However, its high hazard potential and unsatisfactory condition assessment highlight the need for ongoing maintenance and monitoring. The dam's spillway, classified as uncontrolled, poses a potential risk in the event of heavy rainfall or flooding, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and emergency preparedness.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the resilience of dams like Multip Manor Lake Dam becomes increasingly important. Understanding the risks and management measures associated with this structure is essential for ensuring the safety of nearby communities and the preservation of this valuable water source for future generations of water resource and climate enthusiasts.

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.
