Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is an earth dam standing at 11 feet in height with a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet. The dam's purpose is to provide recreational opportunities for visitors, offering a surface area of 6.8 acres for activities such as boating and fishing.
While the dam's hazard potential is currently undetermined and its condition is not rated, it is inspected, permitted, and regulated by state authorities to ensure safety and compliance with environmental standards. The risk assessment categorizes the dam as having a moderate risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to prevent any potential issues. With its uncontrolled spillway and moderate risk level, the dam serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding community while also posing manageable challenges for risk management and emergency preparedness.
Overall, Ms06361 Lake Dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities and water storage in the region. As a regulated structure with a moderate risk level, it highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of both the dam and the surrounding area. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the balance between recreational benefits and the need for responsible management to mitigate potential risks associated with dam operations.

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.
