Summary
This Earth dam, with a height of 20 feet, primarily serves recreational purposes with a storage capacity of 291 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and its hazard potential is currently undetermined, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Situated in the Mobile District, the dam's condition is not rated, and it has not undergone recent inspections or assessments. Despite this, the dam continues to provide essential recreational opportunities, covering a surface area of 22 acres and boasting a normal storage capacity of 212 acre-feet. With its location and design, Ms04632 Lake Dam holds potential for further development and enhancement to ensure safety and sustainability for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Ms04632 Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam management and regulation. Its status as a privately owned structure under state jurisdiction raises questions about the balance between recreational benefits and environmental safety. With an undetermined hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam's future maintenance and inspection procedures will be critical to ensuring the continued enjoyment of its recreational offerings while safeguarding against potential risks and hazards.

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.
