Summary
The dam, constructed with earth materials, stands at a height of 9 feet and has a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet. The dam's purpose is to provide recreational opportunities for the surrounding community, with a surface area of 12.8 acres for activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and compliance with state standards. Although the hazard potential and condition assessment of the dam are currently undetermined and not rated, a moderate risk level (3) has been assigned to it. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, its location and design suggest a potential for environmental and recreational benefits for the area.
Despite lacking detailed information on its construction date, length, and volume, Ms06413 Lake Dam remains a notable feature in the landscape, offering a valuable water resource for both residents and visitors to enjoy. As climate and water resource enthusiasts, there is a sense of intrigue surrounding the dam's function, maintenance, and impact on the local ecosystem, making it a subject of interest for further exploration and study in the realm of water management and conservation efforts.

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.
