Summary
This earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 17 feet and provides recreational opportunities in the area. With a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and a surface area of 5 acres, this dam serves as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located within the Mobile District, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite lacking detailed information on its construction year and inspection frequency, Ms05454 Lake Dam remains a key feature in the local landscape. With its primary purpose being recreation, this dam plays a significant role in providing water resources for the surrounding community while also managing flood risks in the area.
Although the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, the structure is deemed to meet regulatory guidelines and ensure public safety. With a conservative approach to risk assessment and a focus on low-hazard potential, Ms05454 Lake Dam continues to be an important asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.

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.
