Summary
Completed in 1991, this Earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a hydraulic height of 13 feet. With a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet, it serves as a serene spot covering 6.2 acres, offering visitors a tranquil environment for various recreational activities.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Ed Honeycutt Dam is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure its safety and compliance with state guidelines. The dam’s spillway type is uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge of 70 cubic feet per second and a low hazard potential. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the risk assessment categorizes it as moderate, signaling the need for ongoing risk management measures to maintain its structural integrity.
Situated in the watershed of UNT OF BOYER CREEK, Ed Honeycutt Dam enhances the natural landscape while providing essential water resource management and recreational opportunities for the local community. As climate and water resource enthusiasts explore the area, they can appreciate the dam's role in balancing recreational enjoyment with environmental stewardship, contributing to the overall sustainability of the region.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
