Summary
Completed in 1995, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 13 feet and spans a length of 2075 feet, with a storage capacity of 221 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated and inspected by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations.
With a surface area of 28.5 acres and a drainage area of 0.2 square miles, the Steve Good Number 1 Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. Its moderate risk assessment indicates a level 3 rating, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and risk management measures. While the dam has not been rated for its condition, its operational status and emergency preparedness are yet to be fully assessed, emphasizing the need for ongoing evaluation and maintenance to ensure its long-term functionality and safety.
As a key feature in the local landscape, the Steve Good Number 1 Dam contributes to the environmental and recreational well-being of the area. Its controlled spillway and low hazard potential make it a vital asset for water management and conservation efforts in Mississippi, showcasing the importance of sustainable infrastructure development in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource 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.
