Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is categorized as an earth dam with a height of 19 feet and a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the hazard potential of the dam is currently undetermined.
Despite not having a condition assessment rating, the dam is inspected, regulated, and enforced by state authorities. It sits within the jurisdiction of the Vicksburg District of the US Army Corps of Engineers and is situated in a moderate-risk area. With a surface area of 5.5 acres and a normal storage capacity of 40 acre-feet, Ms06309 Lake Dam serves as a vital resource for water recreation enthusiasts in the region.
Although lacking detailed information on its construction and maintenance history, Ms06309 Lake Dam is a key infrastructure for both recreational purposes and water storage in the area. With its moderate risk level and undetermined hazard potential, the dam remains an important structure that requires ongoing monitoring and management to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the environment.

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.
