This Earth dam, completed in 1950, stands at a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a structural height of 20.5 feet, serving the primary purpose of water storage. With a drainage area of 0.19 square miles and a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet, Marie Lake covers a surface area of 7 acres and has a normal storage level of 42 acre-feet.
Managed by the Memphis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Marie Lake has not been rated for its condition assessment but undergoes inspections every 5 years. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and there are no outlet gates or associated structures. Despite its low hazard potential, the lake presents a moderate risk due to its location near the TRIBMISSISSIPPI RIVER and the town of GILES TOWN. The emergency action plan status and risk management measures for Marie Lake are currently not specified, highlighting areas for potential improvement in ensuring the safety and sustainability of this water resource in the face of climate challenges.
