Summary
The dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet, providing ample space for water-based activities in the area. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is inspected, regulated, and permitted by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it is considered to meet guidelines for emergency action plans and risk management measures. With its location in a scenic area and its role in providing recreational opportunities, Ms04812 Lake Dam is a vital part of the local water resource infrastructure.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Ms04812 Lake Dam an interesting subject for study and exploration. The dam's design, construction, and operation offer insights into how private entities can contribute to water management and recreation in the region. Its moderate risk assessment underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality for the community.

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.
