Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 43 acre-feet. The dam's surface area covers 5.4 acres and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance. While the hazard potential is currently undetermined and the condition assessment is not rated, the risk assessment suggests a moderate level of risk associated with the dam. Despite the lack of specific data on its construction year and modifications, the dam serves as a recreational resource for the local community.
With its picturesque location and vital role in providing recreational opportunities, Ms06320 Lake Dam offers both beauty and functionality. As climate change impacts water resources, it becomes crucial to monitor and manage such structures to ensure their long-term safety and sustainability. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of maintaining this dam for both recreational purposes and environmental protection in the face of changing conditions.

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.
