Summary
Owned privately and regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this earth dam serves primarily for recreation, providing a serene oasis for outdoor enthusiasts. With a height of 17 feet and a storage capacity of 124 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the water supply for the surrounding area.
Despite its moderate hazard potential and undetermined condition assessment, Ms06532 Lake Dam remains a vital piece of infrastructure in the region. The uncontrolled spillway and lack of outlet gates present unique challenges for risk management, underscoring the need for ongoing inspections and maintenance. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, we must recognize the significance of structures like this dam in safeguarding our environment and communities against the impacts of a changing climate.
As we look to the future, it is essential to prioritize the safety and sustainability of dams like Ms06532 Lake Dam. By investing in risk assessment, emergency preparedness, and maintenance measures, we can ensure that these critical water resources continue to serve their purpose effectively. Let us advocate for responsible stewardship of our water infrastructure to protect our environment and preserve these valuable resources for generations to come.

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.
