Summary
Standing at a height of 19 feet, this earth dam with a buttress core provides a storage capacity of 74 acre-feet for the surrounding area. With a surface area of 6 acres, the dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and is classified as having a low hazard potential.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. The dam has not been modified in recent years, and emergency action plans and inundation maps are yet to be prepared.
Located within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District, Ms05804 Lake Dam is a vital infrastructure for the local community, providing both recreational opportunities and water storage capabilities. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate management will find interest in the operational and regulatory aspects of this dam, as well as its role in mitigating risks and ensuring public safety in the event of emergencies.

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.
