Summary
The dam, with a height of 16 feet and storage capacity of 61 acre-feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes. Situated in the Mobile District, the dam is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition has not been rated, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) are yet to be established.
The dam's location at 33.0385 latitude and -88.47602 longitude offers a serene environment with a surface area of 6 acres for recreational activities. Although the dam has an uncontrolled spillway type, its maximum storage capacity of 61 acre-feet provides ample opportunities for water-based recreation. While the dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, further evaluation of its condition and implementation of risk management measures may be necessary to ensure its long-term safety and functionality.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ms04746 Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned recreational dam in Mississippi. With its unique design and regulatory oversight by the state environmental agency, the dam offers insights into the management of water resources for leisure activities. As efforts continue to assess its condition and enhance emergency preparedness, the dam serves as a focal point for sustainable water resource management practices in the region.

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.
