Summary
This Earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 22 feet and provides a storage capacity of 133 acre-feet for recreational purposes. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, making it crucial for the dam to be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its safety and functionality.
With a surface area of 10 acres, Ms04068 Lake Dam is a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking recreational activities. Although the dam's hazard potential is undetermined and its condition is not rated, its moderate risk level highlights the importance of implementing effective risk management measures. As the dam is not owned or funded by a federal agency, its operations and maintenance rely solely on the private owners.
Situated within the Vicksburg District, Ms04068 Lake Dam serves as a valuable resource for the local community, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment may need further attention, its role in providing recreational opportunities and supporting the surrounding ecosystem underscores the importance of proper management and oversight to ensure its continued safety and functionality.

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.
