Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 19 feet and a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes. The dam, located at coordinates 32.75887 latitude and -89.01735 longitude, has a surface area of 5 acres and an uncontrolled spillway.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and not rated for condition assessment, the risk associated with this dam is considered moderate. The dam has not undergone recent inspections or assessments, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) have not been documented. The dam is not associated with the US Army Corps of Engineers and does not have a designated DSAC assignment date for risk management.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate change may find the case of Ms04448 Lake Dam intriguing due to its regulatory oversight by the state of Mississippi and the potential risks associated with its condition. The lack of recent inspections and emergency preparedness raises questions about the safety and management of this recreational dam. Further research and monitoring may be needed to ensure the resilience and sustainability of this water resource in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
