Summary
Serving primarily for recreational purposes, this earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet. The dam's hazard potential is rated as low, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3.
Located in the Mobile District, Ms04735 Lake Dam is a vital part of the local water resource infrastructure, providing not only recreational opportunities but also crucial storage capacity for water management. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, it undergoes regular state inspections, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's risk management measures are being closely monitored to maintain its structural integrity and safety.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ms04735 Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned structure with public regulatory oversight. Its design and purpose reflect the balance between human recreation and environmental conservation, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in a changing climate. With its moderate risk assessment and low hazard potential, this dam serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness between water infrastructure, regulatory agencies, and community safety in the face of potential natural disasters.

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.
