Summary
The dam, primarily built for recreation purposes, is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type and stands at a height of 14 feet. With a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet and a surface area of 8 acres, the dam serves as a vital resource for water-based activities in the area.
Although categorized as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level. While specific details about its condition assessment and emergency preparedness are not provided, the dam's risk management measures are yet to be outlined. Despite these considerations, the dam continues to play a significant role in water resource management and climate-related activities in the region.
Located within the Mobile District, Ms04114 Lake Dam is part of the state's infrastructure that supports water conservation and recreational activities. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, this dam presents an opportunity to explore the intersection of human intervention in natural ecosystems and the importance of sustainable practices in managing water bodies 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.
