Summary
With a primary purpose of recreation, this dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a storage capacity of 213 acre-feet. The dam, classified as an Earth type structure, spans a surface area of 11.9 acres and features an uncontrolled spillway.
Despite being labeled as having an undetermined hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the condition of the dam is currently not rated. The dam has not undergone recent inspections, and emergency action plans are yet to be prepared or updated. While the risk management measures for this dam remain unspecified, the structure continues to provide recreational opportunities for the community.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in Mississippi may find Ms06527 Lake Dam intriguing due to its location, design, and purpose. As a privately owned recreational facility, the dam serves as a vital water resource in the area, although its risk assessment and emergency preparedness status raise concerns. With the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality overseeing its regulation, there is potential for further monitoring and improvement of the dam's safety and maintenance protocols to ensure its long-term functionality and contribution to the local ecosystem.

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.
