Summary
With a height of 19 feet and a storage capacity of 170 acre-feet, this Earth-type dam poses a low hazard potential and has a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, Ms06669 Lake Dam remains a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its picturesque location and surface area of 15.2 acres. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its emergency action plan status remains unknown. However, with its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam continues to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.
As part of the Mobile District, Ms06669 Lake Dam does not have any associated structures or federal funding, construction, or regulatory involvement. Its risk management measures and inundation maps preparedness are unclear, but the dam's overall moderate risk assessment suggests that it is well-maintained and monitored to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ms06669 Lake Dam offers a serene and inviting location to explore and appreciate the beauty of Mississippi's natural landscapes.

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.
