Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 18 feet and a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and a moderate hazard potential, with a risk assessment rating of 3 out of 5.
Located in the Vicksburg District, Ms05758 Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place. Despite these limitations, the dam remains a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its scenic surroundings and recreational opportunities. The dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness could benefit from further development to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
While the dam's structural integrity and overall condition are not currently rated, its moderate hazard potential highlights the importance of regular inspections and risk management strategies. With its role in providing recreational opportunities and storing water, Ms05758 Lake Dam underscores the delicate balance between human enjoyment and environmental safety in water resource management. Continued attention to monitoring and maintenance will be crucial in safeguarding this important infrastructure for future generations of enthusiasts and stakeholders.

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.
