Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is classified as an earth dam with a height of 12 feet. With a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet, it covers a surface area of 7.2 acres and serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities.
While the dam's hazard potential is undetermined and its condition is not rated, the overall risk assessment is moderate. The presence of an uncontrolled spillway indicates the potential for emergency situations, though specific risk management measures are not detailed in the available data. Despite these uncertainties, the dam remains a key feature for leisure and water enthusiasts in the area, offering opportunities for boating, fishing, and other recreational pursuits.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, the management and upkeep of dams like Ms06376 Lake Dam become increasingly important. Regular inspections, maintenance, and adherence to state regulations are crucial to ensuring the safety and functionality of these structures. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of dams in providing recreational opportunities and regulating water flow, making Ms06376 Lake Dam a noteworthy site to visit and study in the context of environmental conservation and sustainable water management.

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.
