Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet, providing a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and a surface area of 9.4 acres. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the hazard potential is currently undetermined, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Although the dam's condition assessment is not rated and there is no information on its last inspection date, it is known that the dam has not been modified in recent years. Despite the lack of specific details on emergency preparedness and risk management measures, the dam's risk level is considered moderate. Located in the Vicksburg District, this dam offers opportunities for recreational activities in the area and serves as a vital water resource for the community.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Ms06380 Lake Dam an intriguing structure to study, given its unique characteristics and regulatory framework. As a privately owned dam with state oversight, it presents a case study for understanding the intersection of private ownership, public regulation, and recreational use in managing water resources. Further research into its risk assessment, emergency preparedness, and long-term maintenance plans could provide valuable insights into sustainable dam management practices in Mississippi.

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.
