Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 18.6 feet and has a structural height of 20 feet, with a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the UNT of Town Creek and covers a surface area of 13.4 acres, providing a picturesque recreational area for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Clark Dam is state-regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental regulations. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition is currently not rated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance. With its uncontrolled spillway and lack of outlet gates, Clark Dam serves as a vital water resource in the region and contributes to the conservation efforts in the area.
Visitors to Clark Dam can appreciate the beauty of its surroundings while understanding the importance of responsible water management and climate preservation. With its strategic location and design by the NRCS, this recreational dam exemplifies the harmonious balance between human enjoyment and environmental sustainability in the Mississippi landscape.

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.
