Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 15 feet, primarily serves recreational purposes and has a storage capacity of 91 acre-feet. The dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level, indicating the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and integrity.
Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms04113 Lake Dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has not been rated for its condition assessment. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is crucial for authorities to conduct regular inspections and prepare emergency action plans to mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation. With a surface area of 9 acres and a normal storage capacity of 68 acre-feet, this dam plays a significant role in providing recreational opportunities while also requiring careful management to prevent any adverse impacts on the surrounding environment.
As a key component of water resource management in the region, Ms04113 Lake Dam serves as a critical infrastructure for recreational activities while also posing certain risks that must be effectively managed. With its location in a scenic area of Hancock, Mississippi, the dam requires close attention from regulatory agencies to ensure that it continues to operate safely and efficiently. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find Ms04113 Lake Dam to be a fascinating example of the intersection between human infrastructure development and environmental conservation efforts.

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.
