Summary
Standing at a height of 12 feet, the earth dam has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 5.4 acres. While the dam's hazard potential is undetermined and its condition has not been rated, it is inspected, permitted, and regulated by state authorities to ensure safety and compliance.
Located within the Vicksburg District, this dam primarily serves recreational purposes and features an uncontrolled spillway. Despite its moderate risk classification, with a risk level of 3, specific risk management measures and emergency action plans are yet to be detailed. While the dam's last inspection date, condition assessment, and emergency preparedness details are not available, its proximity to the Steven M. Palazzo (R)'s constituency adds an interesting political dimension to its management and oversight.
Although specifics on the dam's design, construction year, and modifications are lacking, its presence as a crucial water resource in the region warrants continued monitoring and assessment. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, keeping a keen eye on the evolving management and regulatory framework around Ms06375 Lake Dam is essential to ensure its sustainability and safety for both recreational and ecological purposes in the future.

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.
