Summary

This earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 11 feet and has a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. The dam is state-regulated and inspected, with low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.

Located in Pearl River County, Mississippi, the dam has an uncontrolled spillway and is not currently rated for its condition. Despite not having a condition assessment, the dam is regularly monitored and has emergency action plans in place. While the dam does not have associated structures or a history of modifications, it serves as a crucial water resource for the local area, providing recreational opportunities and supporting wildlife habitats.

As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Ms03899 Lake Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and providing recreational benefits to the community. With its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam is a vital asset that requires ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality for both humans and the environment.

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. 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

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, 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.
