Summary
This Earth dam, standing at a height of 16 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. The dam has a surface area of 5.9 acres and operates with an uncontrolled spillway type.
Despite being rated with a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," suggesting a lack of recent inspection or evaluation. The risk assessment indicates a moderate level (3) of risk, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance and management measures. With no associated structures or inspection dates provided, there is uncertainty surrounding the current state of the dam's infrastructure.
Climate and water enthusiasts interested in the sustainability and management of water resources in Mississippi may find Ms06237 Lake Dam a topic of interest. The dam's location and characteristics present a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of recreational land use, regulatory oversight, and the potential risks associated with dam infrastructure in this region. Further research and monitoring efforts could provide valuable insights into the resilience and long-term viability of this water resource in the face of changing climatic conditions.

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.
