Summary
With a height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet, the dam poses a low hazard potential and has a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Located within the Vicksburg District, Ms04928 Lake Dam features an uncontrolled spillway and a surface area of 6 acres. Despite being classified as a low hazard structure, efforts are made to manage risks associated with the dam through risk assessment protocols. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, but its emergency action plan status and readiness are currently unspecified. Additionally, the dam does not have any associated structures and has not been modified in recent years, suggesting a stable and well-maintained infrastructure for recreational use.
Overall, Ms04928 Lake Dam serves as a vital resource for the community, providing not only recreational opportunities but also contributing to water storage and flood control measures in the area. With its moderate risk rating and low hazard potential, the dam remains an important asset that is carefully regulated and inspected to ensure the safety and well-being of the surrounding environment and residents.

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.
