Summary

Completed in 2004, this earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 14.7 feet and has a structural height of 18 feet, offering a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet for recreational purposes. The dam overlooks the UNT of Big Creek and spans 880 feet in length, covering a surface area of 16.4 acres with a drainage area of 0.06 square miles.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk rating (3) and is currently not rated for its condition assessment. It lacks an emergency action plan (EAP) and updated contact information for emergency purposes. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it does not have designated outlet gates or associated structures. The dam's spillway type is marked as uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1572 cubic feet per second.

Lake Christine Part II Dam serves as a vital recreational spot in Mississippi, offering opportunities for water enthusiasts to engage in various activities. However, with its current risk assessment and lack of updated safety measures, there is a need for increased attention and regular inspections to ensure the dam's continued safety and functionality for the surrounding community and environment.

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. 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

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, 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.
