Summary
Built as an earth dam with buttress core types, this dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width that is not specified, creating an air of mystery and intrigue for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Although the hazard potential of the dam is labeled as undetermined and its condition assessment is not rated, the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level of 3. With the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality overseeing state regulation, inspection, and enforcement, the dam's safety and maintenance are closely monitored. While the dam's last inspection date, inspection frequency, and emergency action plan details are not provided, the presence of a risk management strategy suggests proactive measures are in place to address any potential issues.
Overall, Ms05958 Lake Dam serves as a fascinating case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the intersection of recreational infrastructure and environmental stewardship. Its location in a picturesque setting, combined with its unique design features and risk assessment profile, make it a compelling subject for further study and analysis in the context of sustainable water management practices.

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.
