Lake Christine Part Ii Dam dam
Lake Christine Part Ii Dam
Lake Christine Part II Dam, located in Hinds, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. 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.
- 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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Lake Christine Part Ii Dam
Where does the data for Lake Christine Part Ii 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 Low 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.
