Summary
This privately owned earth dam, primarily used for recreation, boasts a height of 22 feet and a storage capacity of 103 acre-feet. Although the dam is considered to have a low hazard potential, it is subject to state regulation and inspection by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality to ensure its safety and integrity.
Located within the Memphis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms05468 Lake Dam serves as a vital recreational resource for the local community. With a surface area of 7 acres and a normal storage capacity of 71 acre-feet, the dam provides a tranquil oasis for water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy. Despite being categorized as having a moderate risk level, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks.
As water resources become increasingly precious in the face of climate change, Ms05468 Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices. With its controlled spillway and low hazard potential, this dam not only provides recreational opportunities but also serves as a critical piece of infrastructure for safeguarding water resources in Tate, Mississippi.

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.
