Summary
Owned privately, the dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring proper permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures are in place. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam provides essential storage of 74 acre-feet of water while covering a surface area of 16 acres.
Constructed as an earth dam with a buttress core type, Ms04781 Lake Dam has a structural height of 7 feet and an uncontrolled spillway type. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, the dam's risk management measures are deemed moderate. While lacking recent inspection and emergency preparedness data, the dam remains a crucial asset for the region's water resource management and climate resilience efforts. Additionally, the dam is under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, ensuring it meets federal standards for safety and operation.
Located in a picturesque setting, Ms04781 Lake Dam offers not only recreational opportunities but also contributes to the overall water storage capacity in the area. With its strategic position and low hazard potential, the dam plays a key role in supporting the local community's water needs while maintaining a balance between water resource utilization and environmental conservation. As climate enthusiasts and water resource experts continue to monitor and assess the dam's condition, it remains an essential component in the sustainable management of water resources in Monroe, Mississippi.

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.
