Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is an earth dam with a height of 22 feet, providing storage for up to 79 acre-feet of water. With a surface area of 6.5 acres, this dam serves as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located in Attala County, Mississippi, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is not currently rated for its condition. Despite lacking certain inspection and emergency preparedness details, the dam remains a vital resource for water storage and recreational activities in the region. The surrounding area benefits from the dam's storage capacity and its contribution to the local ecosystem.
While the dam may have some risk factors to consider, its presence adds value to the community by providing recreational opportunities and water storage capabilities. The moderate risk assessment suggests a need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and functionality of the structure for years to come. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will appreciate the importance of maintaining and regulating this dam to support both recreational and environmental needs in the region.

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.
