R And R Processing Plant Lagoon Dam dam
R And R Processing Plant Lagoon Dam
The R and R Processing Plant Lagoon Dam in Mississippi is a privately-owned structure regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. This earth dam, with a buttress core type, stands at a height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet for recreational purposes. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 3.
Located in Leake County, Mississippi, the R and R Processing Plant Lagoon Dam is in the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and is currently in a not rated condition assessment. Although last inspection details are not available, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are yet to be determined. With its unique design and purpose for recreation, this dam serves as a vital water resource in the region.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find the R and R Processing Plant Lagoon Dam intriguing for its design and risk characteristics. As a privately owned structure with state regulation and inspection, this dam showcases the importance of maintaining infrastructure for recreational water activities. With a moderate risk level and low hazard potential, the dam provides a balance between water storage and safety measures, making it a noteworthy feature in the Mississippi landscape.

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 R And R Processing Plant Lagoon Dam
Where does the data for R And R Processing Plant Lagoon 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.
