Summary
The dam, with a height of 14 feet and a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes. Its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a relatively safe structure, despite being uncontrolled by a spillway. The dam has not been rated for its condition, but regular inspections and enforcement by state authorities ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
This Earth dam with a buttress core type is situated in a picturesque setting, offering a surface area of 11 acres for recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and wildlife observation. Although the dam's construction date and length remain unspecified, its strategic location in the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers enhances its appeal to water resource and climate enthusiasts. With its proximity to the river and surrounding natural habitat, Ms05677 Lake Dam provides a valuable ecosystem for both local wildlife and visitors seeking outdoor adventures.
As water resource management becomes increasingly crucial in the face of climate change, the role of dams like Ms05677 Lake Dam in ensuring sustainable water supply and recreation cannot be understated. By maintaining regulatory oversight, regular inspections, and risk assessment measures, the dam contributes to the resilience of the local community and environment. Its presence highlights the intersection of water resource management, climate adaptation, and recreational opportunities, making it a focal point for enthusiasts interested in sustainable water infrastructure and natural conservation efforts.

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.
