Summary
The earth dam, with a buttress core type, stands at a height of 12 feet, providing a storage capacity of 93 acre-feet. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a hazard potential rated as low and a moderate risk assessment score of 3.
Located within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms04745 Lake Dam serves as a vital asset for water resource management in the region. While its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam undergoes state inspection, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality. Although no specific year of completion is provided, the dam continues to play a significant role in maintaining the water levels and surface area of the surrounding recreational area.
With its picturesque location and essential role in the local environment, Ms04745 Lake Dam represents a harmonious blend of human intervention and natural beauty. As climate change continues to impact water resources and ecosystems, the proper maintenance and regulation of dams like Ms04745 become increasingly crucial. Enthusiasts and stakeholders in water resource management and climate adaptation should keep a close eye on developments related to this dam to ensure its continued effectiveness and safety for future generations.

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.
