Summary
This Earth dam, with a buttress core, stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet, primarily serving recreational purposes. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite lacking certain safety assessments, such as an Emergency Action Plan or inundation maps, the dam is considered to meet guidelines for emergency preparedness. With its location in a scenic area with a surface area of 8 acres, Ms05593 Lake Dam provides a tranquil setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor recreational activities.
Overall, Ms05593 Lake Dam offers a picturesque retreat for visitors seeking relaxation and enjoyment in the Mississippi countryside. While it may have some areas for improvement in terms of safety assessments, the dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a relatively safe and inviting destination for those looking to appreciate nature and water resources in a serene environment.

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.
