Summary
Standing at a height of 12 feet, it has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
While the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it presents a moderate risk level (3) according to risk assessment. Despite lacking specific information on the dam's construction year and other details, it is clear that the dam serves as an important site for recreational activities in the area. With its uncontrolled spillway type and lack of associated structures, the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness status remain unspecified.
Overall, Ms04333 Lake Dam offers a valuable recreational resource in the region, with efforts in place to maintain its safety and regulatory compliance. Water resource and climate enthusiasts monitoring the dam's condition and risk level will find it an intriguing case study in dam management and safety protocols. Further information on its construction history, inspection frequency, and emergency action plans could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the dam's overall management and functionality.

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.
