Summary

Standing at a height of 21 feet, this earth dam has a storage capacity of 103 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8.2 acres. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.

Although the hazard potential of the dam is currently undetermined, a moderate risk assessment has been assigned to it. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is designated as not rated in terms of condition assessment. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks specific design details, it remains a key structure for the surrounding community's recreational activities. With its scenic location and potential for water resource management, Ms06300 Lake Dam serves as a valuable asset in the region.

Despite its modest size and relatively low-profile status, Ms06300 Lake Dam plays a vital role in providing recreational opportunities and water storage in Greene County. As climate change continues to impact water resources, dams like Ms06300 will become increasingly important for managing water supply, flood control, and overall ecosystem health. By maintaining proper regulation, inspection, and risk management measures, this dam can continue to serve its community while adapting to the evolving challenges of a changing climate.

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.
