Albert Prevost Pond dam
Albert Prevost Pond
Albert Prevost Pond, located in Hampton, Mississippi, is a privately owned Earth dam constructed in 1970 by the USDA NRCS. With a height of 8 feet and a length of 7920 feet, this dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a maximum storage capacity of 640 acre-feet. The pond is situated on TR- BLACK BAYOU and has a low hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway of Albert Prevost Pond is 2 feet wide, allowing for a maximum discharge of 14 cubic feet per second. The structure has not been inspected recently and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. While the risk management measures and emergency preparedness status of the dam are not specified, the moderate risk assessment suggests that potential risks should be carefully monitored and managed to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Albert Prevost Pond can appreciate its unique design and construction by the USDA NRCS, as well as its location within the Vicksburg District of Mississippi. The pond's association with TR- BLACK BAYOU and its moderate risk assessment provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of managing water resources in the region. As a privately owned Earth dam with a low hazard potential, Albert Prevost Pond represents a critical piece of infrastructure that requires ongoing monitoring and maintenance to safeguard against potential risks and ensure the sustainable management of water resources in the area.

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.

About Albert Prevost Pond
Where does the data for Albert Prevost Pond 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 Low 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.
