Summary
This earth dam with a buttress core stands at 15 feet high and has a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet, providing ample water for recreational activities. The dam is regulated and inspected by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring its safety and compliance with state standards.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and not having a current condition assessment rating, the dam's risk assessment is moderate. This suggests that there are potential risks associated with the structure that may require attention or monitoring. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, raising concerns about preparedness in case of an emergency. However, the dam's location and purpose make it a valuable resource for water enthusiasts and climate aficionados in the area.
Overall, Ms04512 Lake Dam presents an intriguing mix of recreational opportunities and potential risks. As a privately owned structure with a focus on providing water for leisure activities, it offers a unique perspective on how water resources can be managed and utilized for public enjoyment. With the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality overseeing its regulation and inspection, the dam's safety and compliance are ensured, although further assessment and risk management measures may be needed to address potential hazards. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a fascinating case study in balancing recreation with the need for proper infrastructure management and safety protocols.

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.
