Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is classified as an earth dam with a height of 16 feet and a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the hazard potential is currently listed as undetermined with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite lacking certain detailed information such as the year of completion and inspection dates, the dam's condition is currently assessed as not rated. It serves the purpose of providing recreational activities in the area, with a surface area of 6.6 acres and a normal storage capacity of 44 acre-feet. The dam's location in a picturesque setting makes it a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities.
While further assessment and risk management measures may be needed to ensure the safety and sustainability of Ms06652 Lake Dam, its presence in Smith, Mississippi, offers a valuable resource for the community and visitors alike. As efforts continue to maintain and regulate the dam, it stands as a reminder of the importance of responsible water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
