Summary
Situated in Pearl River County, this earth dam with buttress core serves primarily for recreational purposes. Standing at a height of 12 feet, the dam offers a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 44 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Ms03931 Lake Dam is not currently rated for its condition. Although the dam has not been inspected recently, it is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway system. Despite the lack of specific data on the dam's completion year or inspection frequency, it is clear that the structure plays a vital role in providing recreational opportunities and water storage in the region.
Overall, Ms03931 Lake Dam is a significant water resource in Mississippi, contributing to the local community's recreational activities and water storage needs. As an earth dam with a low hazard potential, it is essential for the state to continue monitoring and regulating this structure to ensure its safety and functionality for years to come. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's condition should be regularly assessed to address any potential issues and maintain its role in the region's water resource and climate management efforts.

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.
