Summary
With a primary purpose of recreation, this earth dam stands at 17 feet high with a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The risk assessment for this dam is moderate, with a DSAC assigned date yet to be determined.
Situated in Pearl River County, Mississippi, this dam serves as a recreational area with a surface area of 5 acres. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway type of the dam is designed to handle potential overflow. The dam has not been inspected recently, but the state agency responsible for its regulation, inspection, and enforcement has confirmed that these measures are in place. The surrounding community should be aware of the moderate risk associated with this dam, and emergency management measures should be considered in case of any unforeseen events.
Overall, Ms03943 Lake Dam is a vital asset for recreational activities in the area, with a focus on ensuring public safety and environmental protection. With proper regulatory oversight and risk management measures, this dam continues to provide valuable recreational opportunities while minimizing potential hazards. It is essential for stakeholders to stay informed about the condition of the dam and be prepared for any emergency situations that may arise.

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.
