Summary
The dam, with a height of 18 feet and a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet, is classified as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Located within the Vicksburg District, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and a surface area of 6 acres. Despite not having a specific dam length or year of completion recorded, the structure is deemed to be in a not rated condition assessment. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared or updated, the risk management measures in place are considered to be moderate, indicating a level of preparedness for potential emergencies.
Although lacking detailed information on certain aspects such as outlet gates and inspection dates, Ms05155 Lake Dam stands as a vital recreation resource in the area. With its picturesque setting and moderate risk level, water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of proper maintenance and regulation to ensure the safety and sustainability of this essential 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.
