Summary
This earth dam serves primarily for recreation purposes, with a maximum storage capacity of 144 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 74 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 16 feet, creating a surface area of 12.8 acres for recreational activities.
Although the hazard potential of the dam is currently classified as undetermined, a moderate risk assessment score of 3 indicates some level of risk associated with the structure. Despite not having a formal condition assessment rating, the dam is regularly inspected by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. The presence of an uncontrolled spillway suggests that the dam may not have advanced safety features, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks.
Located in Jasper County, Mississippi, the exact completion date and details of the dam's construction remain unspecified. However, with its picturesque setting and recreational opportunities, Ms06704 Lake Dam serves as a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region. As efforts continue to manage and maintain the dam, it will be essential to prioritize safety measures and risk management strategies to safeguard both the structure and the surrounding community.

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.
