Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is classified as an Earth dam with a height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet. The dam sits at a latitude of 32.23185765 and longitude of -90.83541131, offering a surface area of 6.9 acres for recreational activities.
Although the hazard potential of the dam is currently undetermined and its condition has not been rated, it is subject to state inspection, regulation, and enforcement. Despite these uncertainties, the risk assessment for the dam is moderate, indicating a level 3 risk. With a spillway type of uncontrolled and no locks or outlets, the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are all listed as unknown in the data.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Ms06179 Lake Dam an intriguing structure to study, with its unique design features and regulatory oversight adding layers of complexity to its operation and maintenance. The dam's location in a scenic area of Mississippi, combined with its recreational purpose, make it a compelling subject for further exploration and analysis in the realm of water resource management and climate resilience.

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.
