Summary
Completed in 1993, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans a length of 950 feet, offering a maximum storage capacity of 502 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam is not currently rated for its condition, although it is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
With its uncontrolled spillway and proximity to a drainage area of 1.49 square miles, Shuler Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management for the region. The dam's normal storage capacity of 300 acre-feet supports various recreational activities and maintains a surface area of 26 acres. While there are no associated locks or outlet gates, the dam's function in maintaining water levels and regulating discharge up to 500 cubic feet per second demonstrates its importance in ensuring water availability for both environmental and recreational purposes.
Overall, Shuler Dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates in Mississippi. Its role in managing water levels, providing recreational opportunities, and contributing to the overall environmental health of the area underscores the significance of responsible dam management and regulatory oversight to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

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.
