Summary
The dam, standing at a height of 35 feet with a storage capacity of 452 acre-feet, provides a surface area of 18.4 acres for recreational activities. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and compliance with state standards.
While the hazard potential of the dam is currently undetermined, a moderate risk assessment rating suggests that precautionary measures may be necessary. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The risk management measures for the dam are not specified, indicating a need for further evaluation and planning to address any potential risks associated with the structure.
Overall, Ms06626 Lake Dam offers a recreational space in Smith County, Mississippi, but its safety and risk management aspects require attention and monitoring. With a focus on water resource management and climate resilience, stakeholders should work towards ensuring the structural integrity of the dam and implementing appropriate risk mitigation measures to safeguard the surrounding community and environment.

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.
