Summary
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a surface area of 8.1 acres.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, the condition of Ms06317 Lake Dam is currently not rated. This dam has not undergone recent inspections or assessments, and emergency action plans have not been prepared or updated. The risk management measures and guidelines for this dam are also unclear, highlighting the need for increased oversight and maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of this water resource.
Located in the Mobile District and overseen by the Mississippi state regulatory agency, Ms06317 Lake Dam presents an opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to advocate for improved monitoring and management practices. With its recreational importance and potential risks, this dam serves as a case study for the importance of proactive dam safety measures in safeguarding communities and environments from potential hazards.

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.
