Summary

This earth dam, standing at a height of 21 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a serene retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With a storage capacity of 721 acre-feet and a surface area of 34.7 acres, this dam provides a tranquil setting for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking.

Despite its low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Ms06335 Lake Dam has not been officially rated for its condition. However, it is regularly inspected by the state regulatory agency to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards. While the dam has an uncontrolled spillway type, it has no associated structures such as locks or outlet gates. In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency action plan is yet to be prepared, highlighting the need for ongoing risk management measures to safeguard the surrounding community and environment.

As water levels rise and fall, Ms06335 Lake Dam stands as a resilient structure in the Vicksburg District, providing a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife alike. With its peaceful waters and picturesque surroundings, this dam is a vital asset for the community's recreational enjoyment, while also serving as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water resources in an ever-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.
