Landmark Development Incorporated Dam dam
Landmark Development Incorporated Dam
The Landmark Development INCorporated Dam is a private-owned structure located in Madison, Mississippi, along the UNT of Burnt Corn Creek. Built in 2002 by AQUA ENGINEERING SERVICES LTD., this earth dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy. With a height of 16.8 feet and a length of 1874 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 263 acre-feet, providing a surface area of 25.8 acres for recreational activities.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Landmark Development INCorporated Dam is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure its safety and functionality. Although its hazard potential is currently undetermined, a moderate risk level (3) has been identified, prompting the need for ongoing risk assessment and management measures. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam's condition is not rated, reflecting a need for further evaluation and potential improvements to enhance its resilience to climate impacts.
As a significant landmark in the area, the Landmark Development INCorporated Dam offers a valuable recreational resource while also highlighting the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions. With its picturesque setting and potential for outdoor activities, the dam serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness between water resources, climate resilience, and community well-being.

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.

About Landmark Development Incorporated Dam
Where does the data for Landmark Development Incorporated 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 above 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.
