Summary
The dam stands at 18 feet high and has a storage capacity of 89 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 63 acre-feet. The dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms06029 Lake Dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. Despite not having a designated dam type, the structure is classified as buttress core type. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has not undergone any recent condition assessments.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ms06029 Lake Dam offers a fascinating opportunity to explore the intersection of human engineering and natural ecosystems. The dam's role in providing recreational opportunities while managing water storage highlights the complex balance between human needs and environmental stewardship. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding the management and maintenance of structures like Ms06029 Lake Dam becomes increasingly important for ensuring the resilience of our water infrastructure.

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.
