Summary

The dam, completed in 2018, is primarily used for irrigation purposes with a storage capacity of 2390 acre-feet. The earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 3754 feet, providing water resource enthusiasts with a fascinating engineering feat in the heart of Mississippi.

Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Deerbrook Farm has not been inspected or rated for its condition. The facility features an uncontrolled spillway and lacks outlet gates, reflecting its simple design yet crucial function in supporting agricultural activities in the region. The dam covers a surface area of 203 acres and serves a drainage area of 1.23 square miles, highlighting its significance in water resource management in the area.

With its strategic location and purposeful design, Deerbrook Farm stands as a vital component in the irrigation infrastructure of Mississippi. As a key contributor to water resource management in the region, this privately owned facility plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities and ensuring water availability for the local community. Its completion in 2018 marks a milestone in enhancing the irrigation capacity and water security of Noxubee, Mississippi, making it a noteworthy site for climate and water resource enthusiasts to explore and appreciate.

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.
