Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 15 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 82 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 8 acres. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and it has a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located in the Vicksburg District, the dam poses no immediate danger and is not currently rated for its condition. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not been inspected or assessed recently, and there is no Emergency Action Plan in place. The surrounding area is at a low risk of inundation, with no specific risk management measures identified for the dam.
Enthusiasts interested in water resources and climate in the region may find Ms03949 Lake Dam intriguing for its recreational purpose and its potential impact on the local environment. With its unique features and regulatory oversight, this dam provides an interesting case study for those studying water management and the intersection of natural resources and human infrastructure in Mississippi.

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.
