Summary

This earth dam, with a height of 11 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes and provides a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and its hazard potential is rated as low, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3.

Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam is crucial for maintaining the surrounding surface area of 9 acres. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, it undergoes regular state inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. The dam's risk management measures are yet to be specified, but it meets the necessary guidelines for emergency action plans and preparedness.

With a relatively low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment score, Ms05675 Lake Dam stands as a vital structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area. Its presence not only supports recreational activities but also contributes to the overall management of water storage and safety within Rankin, Mississippi. As ongoing assessments and inspections continue, the dam remains a key component in the region's infrastructure for water resource management and environmental conservation.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
