Summary
This private dam stands at a height of 23 feet, providing a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres. While primarily used for recreational purposes, the dam is also regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring its safety and compliance with state standards. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam plays a crucial role in water management in the region.
Located in the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms04822 Lake Dam is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type. Its spillway is uncontrolled, and it has a normal storage capacity of 96 acre-feet. Despite being not rated for its condition assessment, the dam has undergone state inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes to uphold its safety and operational integrity. With its strategic location and key role in water storage and recreation, Ms04822 Lake Dam stands as a crucial infrastructure for the community.
The dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness are essential components in ensuring the safety and reliability of the structure. While the dam has a moderate risk assessment, it is important to continue monitoring and maintaining its condition to prevent any potential hazards. With its scenic setting and recreational opportunities, Ms04822 Lake Dam serves as a significant landmark in the region, highlighting the intersection of water resource management, climate resilience, and community engagement.

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.
