Bogue Ws Str Y-30-031 Dam dam
Bogue Ws Str Y-30-031 Dam
Bogue WS Str Y-30-031 Dam, also known as Cooper Dam, is located in Duck Hill, Mississippi, along the TR-Worsham Creek. Built in 1960 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and serves as a flood risk reduction structure. It is owned by the local government and regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring its compliance with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements.
With a storage capacity of 170 acre-feet, Bogue WS Str Y-30-031 Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in satisfactory condition. While it primarily serves the purpose of flood risk reduction, its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates contribute to its operational design. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not undergone any significant modifications since its completion, highlighting its stability and reliability in managing water resources within the Montgomery County area of Mississippi.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Bogue WS Str Y-30-031 Dam presents an intriguing case study of a locally owned flood control structure in the heart of Mississippi. Its historical significance, design characteristics, and regulatory oversight offer valuable insights into the management of water infrastructure and the mitigation of natural hazards in the region. As a key player in the broader network of dams and reservoirs, this dam exemplifies the intersection of engineering, environmental stewardship, and community resilience in safeguarding against potential flooding events 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 Bogue Ws Str Y-30-031 Dam
Where does the data for Bogue Ws Str Y-30-031 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 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.
