Summary
Standing at 13 feet high and stretching 930 feet in length, this dam has a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9 acres. The dam is situated on the UNT of Bogue Chitto river, under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
Although the hazard potential of Levi Lee Dam is currently classified as undetermined, its risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. The dam has not been rated for its condition, and there are no specific emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared as of the last data update in April 2021. Despite these considerations, the dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring that necessary measures are in place to manage any potential risks associated with its operation.
Levi Lee Dam, with its scenic location and recreational purpose, serves as a vital water resource for the community while also showcasing the importance of sustainable water management practices. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is crucial for enthusiasts and stakeholders to stay informed about the condition and safety of dams like Levi Lee to ensure their resilience in the face of evolving environmental 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.
