Summary
Constructed in 2010 by the NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 16.2 feet and has a storage capacity of 147.8 acre-feet. The dam spans 693 feet in length and is situated on the UNT of Houlka Creek. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is state-regulated and subject to inspection, enforcement, and permitting by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Haas Lake Dam's condition assessment is currently not rated. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and has a surface area of 18.1 acres, with a drainage area of 0.19 square miles. Although there are no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam's maximum discharge capacity is 236.5 cubic feet per second. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently unlisted, indicating a potential area for improvement in its overall risk preparedness and response protocol.
It is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor Haas Lake Dam's regulatory compliance and risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. As a key recreational asset in the area, maintaining the dam's functionality and stability is essential for the surrounding community and ecosystem. By staying informed on the dam's condition, inspection frequency, and emergency preparedness, stakeholders can work towards safeguarding this vital water resource for future generations to enjoy.

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.
