Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is an earth dam with a buttress core type, standing at a height of 26 feet. It has a storage capacity of 139 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9 acres. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the hazard potential is rated as low with a moderate risk assessment.
Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, the dam is inspected, permitted, and enforced by the state regulatory agency. The risk management measures for this dam are not explicitly outlined, but it is noted that emergency action plans and inundation maps have not been prepared or updated. The structure falls under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, but it is not operated by any federal agency.
Overall, Ms06135 Lake Dam presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the complexities involved in managing and assessing the safety of dams for recreational purposes. The data provided offers insight into the design, purpose, and regulatory oversight of this particular dam, highlighting the importance of effective risk assessment and emergency preparedness in ensuring the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems.

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.
