The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and covers a surface area of 11 acres, providing an idyllic setting for outdoor activities and water recreation.

Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, the condition of Ms05364 Lake Dam is currently marked as "Not Rated." The dam's emergency action plan status, inspection frequency, and risk management measures are all listed as unknown, suggesting a need for further assessment and preparedness in case of emergencies. With its proximity to the Vicksburg District and the oversight of state regulatory agencies, this dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the maintenance and management of recreational water structures.

As the data for Ms05364 Lake Dam continues to be updated, it is essential for stakeholders and environmental advocates to monitor the condition and risk assessment of this privately owned structure. With the potential for improved emergency preparedness, risk management measures, and hazard assessment, this dam could serve as a valuable example for sustainable water resource management in Mississippi. By staying informed and engaged with the oversight and regulation of dams like Ms05364 Lake Dam, enthusiasts can contribute to the preservation of water resources and the safety of surrounding communities.

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.
