Summary
The dam, with a height of 11 feet, provides a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9.3 acres. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
While the hazard potential of the dam is undetermined and its condition is not rated, the risk assessment categorizes it as moderate. Despite lacking specific information on emergency action plans and risk management measures, the dam's risk level is identified as a moderate (3). As part of the Vicksburg District, the dam does not have any associated structures or federal agency involvement, making it a standalone feature in the water resource landscape.
With its picturesque location and recreational purpose, Ms06499 Lake Dam offers a tranquil setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate. As a privately-owned structure, the dam serves as a vital component in the local ecosystem, providing both storage capacity and leisure opportunities for visitors in the region. Its state-regulated status ensures that the dam is carefully monitored and maintained to uphold safety standards and protect the surrounding environment.

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.
