Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, stands at a height of 22 feet and has a storage capacity of 85 acre-feet. With a surface area of 6.9 acres, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and a moderate hazard potential rating.
Located within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District, the dam has not been rated for condition assessment but is considered to have a moderate risk level. Despite not having an Emergency Action Plan in place, the dam meets regulatory guidelines and has not undergone recent inspection. The dam's risk management measures and inundation maps remain unprepared, leaving its risk assessment and potential emergency response procedures largely undetermined.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Ms06394 Lake Dam offers an intriguing case study of a privately owned recreational structure in Mississippi. With its unique design features and regulatory oversight by the state, the dam presents opportunities for further exploration into dam safety and emergency preparedness in the region. As efforts to enhance risk management measures and conduct regular inspections continue, the dam serves as a focal point for understanding the intersection of water resources, environmental regulations, and public safety in the area.

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.
