Summary
This Earth dam with a Buttress core type stands at a height of 36 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 1274 acre-feet, primarily serving recreational purposes. The dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a key asset for water resource management in the area.
Located within the Memphis District, Ms05722 Lake Dam boasts a surface area of 50 acres and a normal storage capacity of 873 acre-feet. Despite not having a dam length specified, the structure features an uncontrolled spillway type. As a recreational facility, the dam provides opportunities for outdoor activities and enhances the surrounding environment's aesthetic value, inviting water resource and climate enthusiasts alike to appreciate its role in the local ecosystem.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its risk management measures are in place to ensure public safety and environmental protection. As the dam continues to be regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state authorities, it serves as a symbol of sustainable water resource management practices in Mississippi. For those interested in water infrastructure and climate resilience, Ms05722 Lake Dam represents a harmonious blend of recreational enjoyment and environmental stewardship.

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.
