Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is classified as an earth dam with a height of 8 feet and a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. The dam's hazard potential is currently listed as undetermined, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
Located in the Vicksburg District, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and covers a surface area of 11.9 acres. Although the condition assessment is not rated, the dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. Despite lacking specific details on the year of completion and last inspection date, the dam's normal storage capacity stands at 32 acre-feet, providing ample water resources for recreational activities in the area.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Ms06558 Lake Dam an intriguing structure worth exploring. Its unique design and purpose, coupled with its state-regulated status and moderate risk assessment, offer a fascinating insight into the intersection of human-made infrastructure and environmental stewardship in the Mississippi region.

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.
