Summary
Built in 1968 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. It is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
The dam, designed as an earth structure with a buttress core, controls the Pigeonroost Creek and serves as a recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the hazard potential of the dam is currently undetermined, but the risk assessment is moderate. While the condition of the dam is not rated, its risk management measures are being evaluated to address any potential concerns and ensure the safety of the surrounding area.
Despite not having a current condition assessment or emergency action plan, Page Lake Dam remains a focal point for outdoor activities and water management in Webster County, Mississippi. Its historical significance and ongoing management efforts make it a valuable asset for the community and a point of interest for those interested in water resource management and environmental conservation.

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.
