Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 10 feet, provides a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 10 acres. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and its hazard potential is currently undetermined with a moderate risk assessment.
Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam holds significant importance for water resource and climate enthusiasts. While its condition assessment is not rated, the dam's risk management measures are under scrutiny. With its primary purpose being recreation, the dam offers opportunities for outdoor activities and serves as a focal point for environmental conservation efforts in the region. The presence of the dam highlights the delicate balance between human activities and natural resource management in the area.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Ms04787 Lake Dam become crucial for ensuring community safety and environmental sustainability. With its strategic location and moderate risk assessment, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness in the face of changing climate patterns. Its role in providing recreational opportunities while also managing water resources underscores the need for a holistic approach to dam management in the context 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.
