Ms06411 Lake Dam dam
Ms06411 Lake Dam
Ms06411 Lake Dam in Wayne, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. This earth dam, standing at 16 feet tall, serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing storage for 55 acre-feet of water and covering a surface area of 5.7 acres. The dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and is currently rated as having an undetermined hazard potential and a moderate risk level.
Despite lacking specific information on its construction date and condition assessment, Ms06411 Lake Dam remains a vital asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region. Its presence offers recreational opportunities and contributes to the local ecosystem, showcasing the importance of proper dam management and oversight to ensure safety and sustainability. With state regulation and inspection in place, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water management and environmental preservation efforts in the area.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Ms06411 Lake Dam become essential in mitigating risks and adapting to changing conditions. By staying informed and engaged with the management and maintenance of such dams, enthusiasts can contribute to the resilience of water systems and the protection of natural habitats. Ms06411 Lake Dam stands as a testament to the intersection of human infrastructure and environmental conservation, highlighting the interconnectedness of water resources and climate dynamics in today's changing world.

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

About Ms06411 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms06411 Lake 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 Undetermined 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.
