Summary

This Earth dam with a buttress core stands at 17 feet high and has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. While the dam has an undetermined hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, which ensures state-regulated permitting, inspection, and enforcement.

Located in the Mobile District, Ms05302 Lake Dam poses a moderate risk level according to the data available. Despite lacking detailed information on its condition assessment and emergency action plans, the dam serves as a crucial water resource for recreational activities in the area. With a surface area of 12 acres and a normal storage capacity of 90 acre-feet, this dam plays a vital role in the local community and requires ongoing monitoring and management to ensure its safety and longevity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to continue enjoying its recreational benefits.

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.
