Summary
Completed in 2001, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 646 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 408 acre-feet. Situated on the UNT of Doaks Creek, the dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a vital part of the local water resource management system.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Rose Hill Dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With a surface area of 30 acres and a drainage area of 0.41 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water supply for the surrounding area. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam's design and construction have been carefully monitored to meet state regulatory standards and to minimize environmental impacts.
As a key feature in the Vicksburg District, Rose Hill Dam provides not only recreational opportunities but also serves as a vital component in the local water infrastructure. With its strategic location and controlled storage capacity, the dam contributes to the overall water management efforts in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Rose Hill Dam play a crucial role in ensuring water security and resilience in the face of evolving environmental 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.
