Summary

This earth dam, with a height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 79 acre-feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway at this dam ensures that the water levels remain stable, making it a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts.

With a moderate hazard potential rating and an undetermined condition assessment, the safety and maintenance of Ms05122 Lake Dam are of concern. It is essential for the owners to conduct regular inspections and assessments to ensure the structural integrity of the dam. While the risk management measures and emergency action plans for the dam are not currently rated, it is crucial for the stakeholders to prioritize the safety and security of this water resource for both recreational and environmental purposes.

As an enthusiast of water resources and climate, staying informed about the condition and management of dams like Ms05122 Lake Dam is crucial for understanding the impact of such structures on the surrounding ecosystem. By promoting responsible ownership and maintenance practices, we can help ensure the sustainability and safety of these important water resources for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
