Summary
The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 171 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 110 acre-feet. Standing at a height of 18 feet, the earth dam with buttress core type has a surface area of 14 acres and a spillway type categorized as uncontrolled.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating, Ms04475 Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not have an emergency action plan prepared, and its last inspection date and assessment of its condition are unknown. With no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam remains a key feature for recreational activities in the area, attracting water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the serene surroundings of the lake.
While the specifics of the dam's construction year and modifications remain undisclosed, its importance for facilitating recreational activities in the region cannot be overlooked. With a prime location and aesthetically pleasing attributes, Ms04475 Lake Dam stands as a vital water resource for the community, inviting visitors to explore its tranquil waters and picturesque surroundings while also highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and longevity.

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.
