Summary

With a primary purpose of recreation, this earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. The dam poses a moderate risk level and is classified as having an undetermined hazard potential, with no condition assessment currently available.

Despite lacking certain details such as the year of completion and inspection frequency, the dam's existence provides essential recreational opportunities for the local community. The uncontrolled spillway type and moderate risk level suggest a need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and longevity of the structure. With its picturesque location and potential for outdoor activities, Ms06407 Lake Dam serves as both a vital water resource and an enjoyable destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.

As a focal point for outdoor recreation in Wayne, Mississippi, the Ms06407 Lake Dam offers not only a beautiful setting but also the potential for water-related activities. While the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment remain undetermined, its storage capacity and surface area make it a valuable asset for the community. Continued oversight and potential risk management measures will be crucial in maintaining the safety and functionality of this essential water resource in the years to come.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
