Summary
This Earth-type dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 24 feet, holding a maximum storage capacity of 131 acre-feet and serving primarily for recreational purposes. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and it poses a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment.
Located in Kemper County, Mississippi, the dam's condition is currently not rated, and no recent inspection data is available. Despite this, the dam continues to provide essential recreational benefits to the surrounding community. With its scenic 8-acre surface area and normal storage capacity of 107 acre-feet, Ms06026 Lake Dam is a valuable water resource in the region.
While the dam's risk assessment is moderate, there is a need for further evaluation and potentially the implementation of risk management measures to ensure the safety and longevity of this important water infrastructure. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and improving the resilience of dams like Ms06026 Lake Dam is crucial in adapting to changing environmental conditions and safeguarding our water resources for future generations.

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.
