Summary
This earth dam with a buttress core type stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam is currently not rated in terms of its condition assessment.
Despite being privately owned, the state of Mississippi regulates and inspects the dam, ensuring that it meets safety standards. The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality serves as the state regulatory agency for this dam. With a spillway type of uncontrolled, the dam has a surface area of 7 acres and a normal storage capacity of 51 acre-feet. The risk management measures and emergency action plan for the dam are not currently rated or evaluated.
Located within the Memphis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms05705 Lake Dam provides a recreational water source for the local community. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and has a low hazard potential, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its condition and ensure that it continues to meet safety standards for its intended purposes.

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.
