Summary
The dam, primarily built for recreational purposes, stands at a height of 13 feet and has a storage capacity of 153 acre-feet. With a surface area of 18 acres, the dam is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type. Despite being labeled as low hazard potential, the dam is subject to state inspection, regulation, and enforcement.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and poses a moderate risk level according to a risk assessment rating of 3. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are yet to be determined. Situated within the Memphis District, the dam's geographical coordinates are 34.50298 latitude and -90.01021 longitude. As a recreational facility, the dam serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding community, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and leisure.
Overall, Ms05824 Lake Dam represents a unique intersection of water resource management and recreational infrastructure in Mississippi. With its moderate risk level and state regulatory oversight, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water storage and recreational amenities for residents and visitors alike. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of structures like Ms05824 Lake Dam will be essential to ensure their safety and continued functionality in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
