Summary
Standing at a height of 14 feet, this earth dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 2.4 acres. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is classified as having an undetermined hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite not having a designated dam type, Ms06244 Lake Dam has garnered attention for its risk management measures and regulatory compliance. With a history of state inspections, enforcement, and permitting, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. Although its condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam remains a key asset for recreation and water storage in the area, under the oversight of the Mississippi state agency.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor the impact of dams on the environment, the unique features of Ms06244 Lake Dam make it a fascinating subject of study. With its moderate risk assessment and undetermined hazard potential, this dam presents an intriguing case for understanding the balance between human-made structures and natural ecosystems. As efforts to improve risk management and emergency preparedness evolve, the importance of maintaining the integrity and safety of dams like Ms06244 Lake Dam becomes increasingly evident in the face of changing climate 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.
