Summary
This earth dam with a buttress core type stands at a height of 19 feet and has a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet, with a maximum storage of 95 and normal storage of 75. The dam has a surface area of 8 acres and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards. While its condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam is monitored for any potential risks and has not been modified in recent years. Despite its low hazard potential, measures for risk management are in place to address any potential issues that may arise in the future.
With its scenic location and recreational significance, Ms04226 Lake Dam offers an opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate the balance between human enjoyment and environmental stewardship. As a vital part of the local ecosystem, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices and the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of such structures in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
