Summary
Standing at 30 feet high and stretching 396 feet in length, this dam holds a storage capacity of 74 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 47 acre-feet. The dam poses a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is state-regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. The dam is situated on the UNT of Stockfarm Creek and falls under the jurisdiction of the New Orleans District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and emergency action preparedness details are not provided.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Big Track Hunting Club Dam presents an interesting case study in dam management and recreational use. With its unique design features, regulated status, and moderate risk assessment, it offers insight into the balance between human activity and environmental stewardship in water resource management. Further exploration of its condition assessment, emergency preparedness, and risk management measures could shed light on best practices for maintaining and operating dams in a sustainable manner.

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.
