Summary
The dam, constructed with earth and buttress core types, stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 87 acre-feet. With a surface area of 10 acres, the dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and is classified as having low hazard potential.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. Despite being rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the risk associated with the dam is considered moderate. The surrounding area, including Noxubee County, Mississippi, benefits from the recreational opportunities provided by the dam, attracting water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy its serene waters.
Although details such as the completion year and specific structural measurements are not provided, the presence of such a recreational water resource highlights the importance of maintaining and managing dams for both safety and enjoyment. The dam's location within the Mobile District further underscores its significance in the local ecosystem and underscores the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to ensure its continued functionality and safety.

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.
