Summary
This earth dam, standing at a height of 18 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 6.2 acres. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway type is designated as 'Uncontrolled' with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
Located in the New Orleans District, the dam is not associated with any federal agency ownership, funding, design, construction, or regulatory oversight. With no specific dam type or foundation mentioned, the structure's condition is currently unrated, with no recent inspection data available. Although emergency preparedness measures like an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and risk assessment guidelines are not disclosed, the dam's risk management measures and inundation maps status remain unreported.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Ms06574 Lake Dam can appreciate its unique recreational significance in the region while noting the lack of comprehensive data on its overall condition and risk management protocols. The dam's presence in a state-regulated jurisdiction underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and sustainability of this water resource for both local communities and environmental conservation efforts. Further research and updates on inspection and emergency response procedures could enhance understanding and awareness of the dam's role in the broader context of water resource management 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.
