Summary

1, located in Union, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure that serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond along the UNT of King Creek. This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 31 feet with a hydraulic height of 28.53 feet and a structural height of 36 feet. It has a length of 310 feet and a storage capacity of 87.62 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the local ecosystem.

Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Moody & Stout Dam No. 1 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards. With a low hazard potential but a moderate risk assessment rating, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water levels, supporting wildlife habitats, and mitigating potential flooding risks in the region. Its primary purpose as a fish and wildlife pond highlights its significance in promoting biodiversity and ecosystem health.

Despite not having a condition assessment rating, Moody & Stout Dam No. 1 remains an integral part of the local water infrastructure, contributing to the conservation and sustainable management of water resources in Mississippi. As a captivating site for water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a testament to the importance of balancing human needs with environmental stewardship to ensure the long-term resilience of our natural ecosystems.

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.
