Summary
The dam, with a height of 8 feet and a storage capacity of 126 acre-feet, is located at a latitude of 32.7222 and longitude of -89.11956. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and covers a surface area of 25 acres.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is state-regulated and undergoes regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam's risk management measures indicate a moderate risk level (3). With a history of no reported incidents, the dam serves as a safe and essential recreational resource for the community, offering opportunities for water-based activities and leisure.
Though lacking specific details on construction date and associated structures, Ms04284 Lake Dam remains a key feature in the region's water resource management. Owned by a private entity, the dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities while maintaining a focus on safety and risk management. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, it is essential to monitor and support the continued upkeep and maintenance of this important infrastructure to ensure its sustainable use 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.
