Canebrake Golf Course Hole Number 12 Dam dam
Canebrake Golf Course Hole Number 12 Dam
Canebrake Golf Course Hole Number 12 Dam, located in Lamar, Mississippi, serves as a vital water resource for the area, primarily designated for recreational purposes. Completed in 1997, this earth dam stands at a height of 13.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. The dam spans 185 feet in length and covers a surface area of 7.38 acres, with a drainage area of 0.28 square miles.
Managed by the private owner, this dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring that it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. With an undetermined hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's condition is currently not rated. The surrounding Perkins Creek serves as the primary water source for this structure, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1030 cubic feet per second through an uncontrolled spillway.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Canebrake Golf Course Hole Number 12 Dam represents a fascinating intersection of human engineering and environmental stewardship. As a crucial component of the local ecosystem, this dam provides not only recreational opportunities but also essential water storage and management capabilities. Its regulatory oversight and risk assessment highlight the importance of maintaining and monitoring such infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.

About Canebrake Golf Course Hole Number 12 Dam
Where does the data for Canebrake Golf Course Hole Number 12 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Undetermined hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card below for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.
