Summary
With a primary purpose of recreation, this Earth dam with a buttress core type stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 115 acre-feet. The dam poses a low hazard potential and has a moderate risk rating, indicating a need for ongoing risk management measures.
Situated in a picturesque location with a surface area of 7 acres, Ms05781 Lake Dam provides a serene setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for recreational activities and water storage in the region. With its uncontrolled spillway type and low hazard potential, the dam offers both beauty and functionality for visitors to enjoy.
As part of the Vicksburg District, the dam does not have any associated structures and has not been modified in recent years. While its emergency action plan status and risk assessment may need further development, the dam's role in providing recreational opportunities and water storage highlights its importance in the local community. For those passionate about water resources and climate resilience, Ms05781 Lake Dam is a fascinating structure to study and appreciate.

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.
