Summary
The dam, constructed of earth and buttress core types, stands at a height of 12 feet and has a storage capacity of 184 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is for recreation, offering a surface area of 24 acres for water enthusiasts to enjoy.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway type is designated as "Uncontrolled." The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with a risk level of 3 out of 5, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and management measures.
While the dam's condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," the risk management measures and emergency action plans are not currently specified. With its scenic location and recreational opportunities, Ms03964 Lake Dam serves as a valuable water resource for the community, highlighting the importance of sustainable management and maintenance practices for the preservation of this essential water infrastructure.

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.
