Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is an earth dam with a buttress core type and stands at a height of 20 feet. It provides a storage capacity of 229 acre-feet, with a maximum storage of 229 acre-feet and a normal storage of 114 acre-feet.
Situated in Pearl River County, Mississippi, the dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment. It features an uncontrolled spillway and covers a surface area of 16 acres. While the dam's condition assessment is not rated, it is regularly inspected by state authorities. With its location in a scenic area and its recreational purpose, Ms04076 Lake Dam is a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate.
Despite not having a designated year of completion or detailed inspection records, Ms04076 Lake Dam remains a vital component of the local landscape. Its risk management measures and emergency preparedness status are not specified, but its role in providing both storage capacity and recreational opportunities underscores its importance for the community and the environment. For those interested in water resources and climate, this dam presents a fascinating case study in the intersection of human engineering and natural beauty.

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.
