Summary
This earth dam stands at 16 feet high and spans 840 feet in length, serving primarily for recreational purposes. With a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, the dam poses a low hazard potential and has a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located on the UNT of Fourteen Mile Creek, this dam has not been rated for condition assessment but undergoes inspections every 5 years. Despite lacking an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, the dam's risk management measures are not specified. With a spillway type classified as "Uncontrolled," the dam's risk profile suggests a moderate level of vulnerability, though it currently meets regulatory guidelines for state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ms05433 Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure management. Its relatively low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure public safety and environmental protection. As a key recreational site in the area, the dam's resilience to potential hazards and adherence to regulatory standards serve as critical factors in its long-term sustainability and the well-being of surrounding communities.

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.
