Summary
With a primary purpose of recreation, this earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and its hazard potential is currently undetermined, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located in the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam provides essential water resource management for the surrounding area. Despite being not rated for condition assessment, the dam continues to serve its purpose of recreational water storage, covering a surface area of 10 acres. While its emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unclear, the dam remains a key component of the local water infrastructure for residents and visitors alike.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring the condition and safety of dams like Ms06116 Lake Dam is crucial for ensuring the continued protection and sustainability of our water systems. With its moderate risk assessment and undetermined hazard potential, it is important to stay informed about any updates or changes to the dam's operation and maintenance practices to prevent any potential emergencies or risks to the surrounding community and environment.

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.
