Summary
Standing at a height of 21 feet and stretching 757 feet in length, this dam provides a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 66 acre-feet. The dam, constructed on the UNT of Boone Creek, has a low hazard potential and is currently deemed to be in a moderate risk condition.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Robinson Dam is regulated and inspected by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam's risk management measures are in place to maintain its structural integrity and safeguard against potential emergencies. While not yet rated for its overall condition, the dam serves as a vital resource for water recreation enthusiasts in the region, offering a surface area of 9.6 acres and a drainage area of 0.08 square miles.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Robinson Dam stands as a notable structure that not only provides recreational opportunities but also plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the area. With its strategic location and moderate risk profile, the dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water infrastructure to ensure the safety and sustainability of our natural resources for future generations.

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.
