Summary
This earth dam, standing at 16 feet high, serves primarily for recreational purposes with a storage capacity of 284 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and its hazard potential is currently undetermined, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam provides vital water resource management for the surrounding area. Despite being not rated for condition assessment, the dam continues to support recreational activities and maintain a surface area of 28 acres. With state-regulated inspection, permitting, and enforcement in place, the dam ensures the safety and sustainability of its operations for the community.
As a significant feature in the region, Ms04952 Lake Dam presents both opportunities and responsibilities for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With its moderate risk assessment and undetermined hazard potential, continued monitoring and management are essential to ensure the long-term safety and effectiveness of this recreational water resource.

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.
