Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 17 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 79 acre-feet. While the dam has a low hazard potential, its condition has not been rated, and risk assessments indicate a moderate level of risk.
Managed by the Vicksburg District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Ms06030 Lake Dam features an uncontrolled spillway and covers a surface area of 7 acres. Despite not having a designated dam type, its core structure is identified as buttress. The dam's design includes no outlet gates or associated structures, with inspections and emergency preparedness measures yet to be fully documented.
With its picturesque setting and focus on recreational use, the Ms06030 Lake Dam offers an opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the intersection of human-made infrastructure and natural environments. As efforts continue to assess and manage potential risks associated with the dam, its presence serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water resource management in ensuring the safety and enjoyment of such recreational facilities.

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.
