Summary
Owned privately, this earth buttress dam reaches a height of 8 feet and stores 65 acre-feet of water, covering a surface area of 12 acres. While its primary purpose is recreation, the dam also serves as a critical part of the local water management infrastructure.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam's hazard potential is rated low, with a moderate risk assessment. Although not recently inspected or rated for condition, the dam remains in operation and meets state regulatory standards. With its uncontrolled spillway, Ms04174 Lake Dam plays a crucial role in ensuring water safety and security for the surrounding community.
Located within the Vicksburg District, the dam's strategic position and design contribute to its importance in water resource management. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Ms04174 Lake Dam are essential for safeguarding the region's water supply and ecosystem health.

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.
