Summary
The dam stands at 12 feet high with a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, providing a surface area of 7 acres for recreational activities. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring regular inspections and enforcement of safety measures.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment score of 3, prompting the need for risk management measures to be implemented. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and has not been rated for its condition assessment. While the dam currently meets safety guidelines, there is room for improvement in emergency action preparedness and inundation mapping to enhance overall risk management.
Located within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms04877 Lake Dam is a vital water resource for the local community. With its recreational purpose and moderate risk assessment, stakeholders and water resource enthusiasts should stay informed about any future developments or enhancements to ensure the safety and sustainability of this important infrastructure.

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.
