Summary
With a primary purpose of recreation, this earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation.
While the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has not been modified in recent years, it is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its condition closely. With a surface area of 9 acres and a normal storage capacity of 57 acre-feet, any issues with the dam could have significant implications for the surrounding area. As such, it is important for stakeholders to stay informed about the dam's inspection frequency, emergency preparedness measures, and risk management strategies to ensure the safety and integrity of this vital water resource.
As a key component of the local recreational landscape, Ms06119 Lake Dam provides not only water storage and flood control benefits but also serves as a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Understanding the dam's ownership, regulatory oversight, and maintenance protocols is essential for safeguarding this valuable resource for future generations. By staying engaged and informed, water resource and climate enthusiasts can play a crucial role in ensuring the longevity and sustainability of Ms06119 Lake Dam for years to come.

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.
