Summary
Owned privately but regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this earth dam serves primarily for recreation, offering a tranquil oasis for residents and visitors alike. With a height of 11 feet and a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, the dam provides essential water storage while maintaining a low hazard potential.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," its risk assessment is moderate, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance. With a spillway type of "Uncontrolled" and a surface area of 8 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and ensuring the safety of downstream communities. While the dam may not have a designated dam type or completion year, its presence underscores the importance of investing in infrastructure that supports both environmental conservation and recreational opportunities.
As climate change continues to impact water resources across the country, dams like Ms04650 Lake Dam play a vital role in mitigating flood risks and safeguarding local ecosystems. With proper oversight from regulatory agencies and engagement from the community, this dam can serve as a model for sustainable water management practices in the face of a changing climate.

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.
