Summary

This earth dam stands at 18 feet high, holding a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet for recreational purposes. While the dam's hazard potential is undetermined and its condition not rated, it has a moderate risk assessment level of 3.

Located in George County, Mississippi, this dam serves as a key feature for recreation in the area, with a surface area of 6.7 acres and a maximum storage capacity of 67 acre-feet. Despite lacking specific details on its construction date and maintenance history, the dam is subject to state regulation and inspection, ensuring its safety and compliance with environmental standards. The spillway type is uncontrolled, indicating a simpler design for water release in case of overflow.

Although the condition assessment and emergency preparedness of Ms06245 Lake Dam are not rated or specified, its moderate risk level suggests that risk management measures may be in place to address potential issues. With its location in a picturesque area of Mississippi and its role in providing recreational opportunities, this dam remains an essential part of the local water resource infrastructure. Its significance lies not only in its structural function but also in its contribution to the community's enjoyment of the surrounding natural environment.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
