Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, stands at a height of 11 feet and has a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet. With a surface area of 14 acres, the dam poses a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) date, indicating a need for further risk assessment and management measures.
Although the dam does not have a specific primary dam type listed, it is categorized as an earth dam with a buttress core type. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and there are no associated locks or outlet gates. The dam has not been inspected recently, and there is no information available regarding emergency action plans or risk management measures. With its location in the Vicksburg District and under the ownership of a private entity, the maintenance and safety of Ms04411 Lake Dam are crucial for ensuring the protection of both the surrounding environment and recreational activities.
Given the lack of recent inspections and risk assessment updates, stakeholders and water resource enthusiasts should advocate for increased oversight and monitoring of Ms04411 Lake Dam. With its moderate risk level and the potential for recreational use, it is essential to prioritize the safety and maintenance of this structure to prevent any potential hazards or emergencies. Collaboration between the private owner, regulatory agencies, and the local community is necessary to develop and implement effective risk management measures and emergency action plans for the long-term safety and sustainability of the dam and its surrounding area.

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.
