Summary

This earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 113 acre-feet, making it a vital resource for the surrounding community. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring that it meets state inspection and enforcement standards.

The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is classified as a buttress type, providing essential water storage for recreational activities in the area. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its risk assessment is moderate, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and management measures. The structure's risk management plan and emergency action preparedness are areas that may require further attention to ensure the safety and resilience of the dam in the face of climate variability and water resource challenges.

As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is important to recognize the significance of structures like Ms04075 Lake Dam in providing both recreational opportunities and essential water storage. Monitoring and maintaining the dam's integrity and preparedness for emergencies are key aspects of safeguarding the surrounding community and environment. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is crucial to support the regulation and management of these structures to ensure their longevity and effectiveness in meeting the needs of the local area.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
