Summary
This earth dam, with a buttress core type, stands at 16 feet high and provides a storage capacity of 117 acre-feet for recreational purposes. While it has a low hazard potential, its risk assessment is deemed moderate, reflecting the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring.
Located in Lincoln County, Mississippi, this dam serves as a popular spot for recreational activities such as fishing and boating. With an uncontrolled spillway type, the dam's primary purpose is to enhance the local community's access to water-based enjoyment. As a privately owned structure, the responsibility for its upkeep lies with the owners, ensuring the safety and functionality of this vital water resource for both residents and visitors.
Despite being labeled as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the Lakewood Village Lake Dam is subject to regular state inspections and enforcement measures to maintain its integrity. The risk associated with this dam is considered moderate, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and adherence to safety guidelines to prevent any potential issues. As a key feature in the region's recreational landscape, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water resources for leisure activities while also warranting careful attention to avoid any hazards.

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.
