Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and has a storage capacity of 118 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 100 acre-feet. The dam's surface area covers 11.6 acres and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway.
Despite being state-regulated and having undergone inspection, the dam's hazard potential is currently labeled as undetermined, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3. The condition assessment is listed as not rated, indicating the need for further evaluation. Emergency action plans and risk management measures for the dam are also lacking, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in the event of an emergency.
Overall, Ms06371 Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the importance of proper maintenance and regulatory oversight for ensuring the safety and functionality of essential water infrastructure. The dam's location in a recreation area adds an additional layer of significance, emphasizing the need for sustainable management practices to protect both the environment and public safety. As discussions around climate change and water resource management continue to evolve, understanding the status and potential risks associated with structures like Ms06371 Lake Dam becomes increasingly crucial.

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.
