Summary
The dam, which is classified as an Earth dam with Buttress core type, stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. It is located in Pearl River County and has a surface area of 6 acres, making it a popular spot for outdoor activities and water enthusiasts.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated and inspected by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, there are moderate risks associated with the dam, prompting the need for ongoing risk assessment and management measures. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and while it may not be a high-risk structure, it plays a crucial role in managing water levels and ensuring the safety of the surrounding area.
With its picturesque location and recreational offerings, Ms04019 Lake Dam is a valuable asset for the community. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the proper maintenance and management of dams like these are essential to safeguarding both the environment and public safety. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate resilience, it is important to stay informed about the condition and management of dams like Ms04019 to ensure sustainable and responsible use of water resources for future generations.

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.
