Summary
The earth dam, with a buttress core type, stands at a height of 11 feet and has a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. While the dam is categorized as having a low hazard potential, it is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms03930 Lake Dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and does not have any associated locks. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's condition remains unrated, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) are currently not in place. With its picturesque surroundings and potential for outdoor activities, this dam serves as a key recreational asset in the region.
Enthusiasts interested in water resources and climate management will find Ms03930 Lake Dam an intriguing case study due to its unique design features, operational characteristics, and regulatory oversight. As the dam continues to play a vital role in providing recreational opportunities while managing water resources, further research and monitoring efforts are essential to ensure its long-term sustainability and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
