Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is classified as an earth dam with buttress core types and stands at a height of 14 feet. It has a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet and serves as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
Located within the Vicksburg District, Ms05527 Lake Dam boasts a surface area of 7 acres and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway type. Despite not having a designated dam length or drainage area, the structure has a normal storage capacity of 43 acre-feet. With no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, though it maintains a low hazard potential and moderate risk management measures in place.
While specific details such as the year of completion and last inspection date are not provided, Ms05527 Lake Dam remains a noteworthy site for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Its role in recreation and environmental conservation within the Mississippi region underscores the importance of maintaining and regulating such structures to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources for future generations.

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.
