Summary
The dam, with a height of 23 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 5.1 acres. Despite being of earth construction and having an uncontrolled spillway, the dam's hazard potential is currently undetermined, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
With its scenic location and recreational focus, Ms06416 Lake Dam offers opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities in the region. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its regular state inspections, permitting, and enforcement ensure ongoing safety and compliance with regulatory standards. With a designated emergency action plan and moderate risk management measures in place, the dam continues to serve as a valuable resource for water enthusiasts in the area.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the importance of properly maintaining and managing dams like Ms06416 Lake Dam becomes increasingly crucial. By staying informed about its condition, risk assessment, and emergency preparedness, water resource and climate enthusiasts can contribute to the ongoing sustainability and safety of this recreational water feature 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.
