Summary
Standing at a height of 12 feet and with a length of 1850 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 14.3 acres. It is situated on the UNT of Bogue Chitto river and is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is classified as a buttress-type structure. While its hazard potential is currently undetermined and its condition not rated, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level. The dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have any associated locks or outlet gates. The risk management measures for the Levi Lee Number 2 Dam are not specified, and it is not under the management of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find the Levi Lee Number 2 Dam an intriguing spot for recreational activities while also presenting an opportunity to study the management and risk assessment strategies of a privately-owned dam. With its unique design features and location on the UNT of Bogue Chitto river, the dam offers a glimpse into the intersection of water infrastructure and environmental regulations in Mississippi.

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.
