Mrs Roland Stacy Lake Dam dam
Mrs Roland Stacy Lake Dam
Mrs Roland Stacy Lake Dam is a privately-owned recreational dam located in Adams, Mississippi. Completed in 1971, this earth dam stands at 25 feet high and stretches 513 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 435 acre-feet for activities like fishing and boating. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is considered to have a moderate risk level, with an undetermined hazard potential.
The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, and it sits on the UNT of Second Creek, within the New Orleans District. Despite being privately owned, the dam falls under state jurisdiction and is subject to regular inspections and enforcement by regulatory agencies. The area surrounding the dam covers 14.5 acres with a drainage area of 0.38 square miles, making it a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers in the region.
Even though the condition of the dam is currently not rated, its risk management measures are in place to maintain safety and security. With its tranquil waters and scenic surroundings, Mrs Roland Stacy Lake Dam offers a picturesque setting for visitors to unwind and enjoy various water-based activities while also serving as an essential water resource for the local community in Mississippi.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Mrs Roland Stacy Lake Dam
Where does the data for Mrs Roland Stacy Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Undetermined hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
