Summary
The dam is classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type and stands at a height of 10 feet, providing a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is deemed to have a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level.
Located in Pearl River County, Mississippi, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and lacks emergency action plans and inundation maps. Despite being state-regulated and inspected, there is limited information available regarding its maintenance and operational status. The surrounding area covers 8 acres, creating a scenic water body for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts intrigued by the intricacies of dam infrastructure and the environmental impact of recreational water bodies may find Ms04004 Lake Dam a fascinating case study. Its unique design, ownership structure, and regulatory oversight offer valuable insights into the intersection of water resource management, public safety, and leisure activities in a natural setting. Further research and monitoring of this dam could provide valuable data for understanding and mitigating potential risks associated with its operation.

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.
