Summary

Constructed in 2006 by APAC-MS, INC., this earth dam stands at a height of 52 feet, with a hydraulic height of 50 feet and a structural height of 60 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 550 acre-feet, providing essential water storage for the region.

Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Glen Miller Lake Dam is designed to regulate the flow of the UNT of Everett Branch, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, ensuring controlled water releases when necessary. Despite not having a condition rating, the dam is inspected, permitted, and enforced by the state regulatory agency, highlighting its importance in maintaining water quality and safety.

With its strategic location and vital role in water management, Glen Miller Lake Dam stands as a significant asset for the region, contributing to flood control, water supply, and ecological preservation. As a private-owned structure, it exemplifies the collaborative efforts between private entities and state agencies in safeguarding water resources and climate resilience.

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.
