Summary

Standing at a height of 15 feet, the dam boasts a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 34 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently deemed to be in a not-rated condition.

Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. While the dam's risk assessment is moderate, with a rating of 3, there are no specific risk management measures or emergency action plans in place. The dam's location within the Mobile District and its association with Congressman Steven M. Palazzo (R) adds a layer of political significance to its structural and environmental importance.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Ms03910 Lake Dam to be an intriguing case study in the management of recreational water bodies within the state of Mississippi. With its unique design features and modest storage capacity, this dam serves as a reminder of the diverse roles that dams play in balancing human recreation with environmental stewardship in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
