Summary
This earth dam serves primarily for recreation purposes, with a maximum storage capacity of 102 acre-feet and a normal storage of 70 acre-feet. The dam has a height of 17 feet and a surface area of 9.8 acres, making it a significant water resource in the area.
While the hazard potential of the dam is currently undetermined and its condition is not rated, the risk assessment categorizes it as moderate. Despite lacking specific inspection and emergency action plan dates, the dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With an uncontrolled spillway type, the dam's risk management measures and overall risk characterization remain unspecified.
Given its location and purpose, Ms06673 Lake Dam presents an intriguing case for water resource and climate enthusiasts. In-depth analysis of its design, storage capacity, and risk assessment could provide valuable insights into the management of similar structures in the region and the potential impacts of climate change on water infrastructure. Further research and monitoring are needed to assess the dam's resilience and ensure its long-term safety and functionality.

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.
