Summary

With a primary purpose of recreation, this earthen dam stands at a height of 13 feet and has a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a surface area of 5.8 acres, providing a picturesque setting for outdoor activities.

Despite its moderate risk assessment, the hazard potential of Ms06586 Lake Dam is still undetermined, with no recent condition assessment or inspection date available. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unclear, raising questions about its preparedness for potential emergencies. With its location in the New Orleans District and a lack of associated structures, the dam presents an intriguing case for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and assess moving forward.

As enthusiasts continue to track the developments of Ms06586 Lake Dam, its risk factors and management strategies will be important areas of focus. With its recreational value and potential impact on the surrounding area, understanding the condition and safety measures of this dam will be crucial for ensuring the preservation of water resources and the mitigation of climate-related risks in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
