Summary
This earth dam with a buttress core type has a height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 225 acre-feet, providing ample opportunities for water-based activities in its 16-acre surface area. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is classified as having low hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located in Pearl River County, Mississippi, this dam is part of the Mobile District and is not under the jurisdiction of any federal agency. While the dam is primarily used for recreational purposes, its uncontrolled spillway type and lack of outlet gates suggest a lower level of engineering complexity compared to other structures. Despite being not rated for condition assessment, the dam's risk management measures are considered moderate, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Ms03934 Lake Dam an intriguing case study in dam regulation and risk assessment. With its unique design features and recreational focus, this privately owned structure offers a glimpse into the diverse landscape of dams in the United States and the importance of proper management to mitigate potential hazards and ensure long-term sustainability.

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.
