Summary
The dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a surface area of 11 acres. It 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.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and not being rated for condition assessment, the dam is deemed to have a moderate risk level. While the specifics of the dam's construction and modifications are not available, its purpose for recreation underscores its importance for water resource enthusiasts. The presence of an uncontrolled spillway adds to the dam's operational features, even though certain details like last inspection date and hazard assessment information are currently unavailable.
Overall, Ms04444 Lake Dam represents a significant water resource infrastructure in Mississippi, serving as a recreational spot with a moderate risk level. With state regulatory oversight in place, the dam's safety and structural integrity are monitored, although further details on its condition and risk management measures would be beneficial for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in understanding the dam's impact and potential challenges.

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.
