Summary
This Earth dam with Buttress core types stands at a height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 118 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is categorized as 'Uncontrolled', with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment score of 3.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is state-regulated and subject to inspection, permitting, and enforcement. Located in Clay County, Mississippi, this dam serves as a recreational spot with a surface area of 18 acres and a normal storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. Despite being in a moderate risk category, the condition assessment of the dam is currently 'Not Rated', indicating a need for further evaluation and monitoring.
Although the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain detailed information such as the year of completion and last inspection date, its overall risk management measures and emergency preparedness status are not explicitly outlined. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Ms04916 Lake Dam an intriguing subject for further research and analysis due to its private ownership, recreational significance, and moderate risk profile.

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.
