Summary

Owned privately, this dam serves a primary purpose of recreation, offering a serene oasis for locals and visitors alike. With a height of 13 feet and a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet, the dam provides essential water retention capabilities for the surrounding area.

Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is state-regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment categorizes it as moderate, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures. With a spillway type of "Uncontrolled," the dam is designed to handle excess water flow, further emphasizing its importance in mitigating potential flood risks in the region.

While the dam's condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," its strategic location and impact on the local ecosystem underscore its significance in water resource management. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water infrastructure, the resilience and effectiveness of dams like Ms06367 Lake Dam are crucial in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the impacts of a 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.
