Summary
The dam, with a height of 14 feet and a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes. Its earth dam type and uncontrolled spillway contribute to its moderate risk level, as identified in the risk assessment.
Despite its undetermined hazard potential and condition assessment not rated, the dam remains a significant feature in the area, providing water storage and recreational opportunities for local residents and visitors. The dam's location within the Mobile District and its proximity to the Steven M. Palazzo (R)-represented congressional district highlight its importance in the region's water resource management and climate resiliency efforts. While specific details about the dam's construction and modification history are not available, its presence underscores the need for ongoing inspection and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Ms06313 Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study of a privately-owned structure with public implications. Its role in providing recreational opportunities and water storage in Greene County, Mississippi, showcases the intersection of human activity and natural resources management. With its moderate risk level and state regulation, the dam serves as a focal point for assessing and addressing potential hazards and ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the area.

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.
