Summary
Completed in the year 2000, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 29 feet and spans a length of 394 feet. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 91 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 61 acre-feet, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities in its 8-acre surface area.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Fellows Lake Dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state to ensure its safe operation and maintenance. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam carries a moderate risk assessment due to its location on the UNT of Town Creek. With a spillway type categorized as uncontrolled and a maximum discharge capacity of 250 cubic feet per second, the dam is equipped to manage water flow effectively. While its condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam remains a key feature in the region's water resource infrastructure, contributing to the overall environmental and recreational landscape.

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.
