Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is classified as an Earth dam with a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 507 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, making it an important structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor.
Located in Wilkinson County, Mississippi, Ms06714 Lake Dam has a surface area of 29.7 acres and a normal storage capacity of 295 acre-feet. Despite not having a designated dam type, the structure is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, its risk management measures and emergency preparedness protocols are essential considerations for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding environment.
Managed by private owners and subject to state regulations, Ms06714 Lake Dam stands as a vital recreational resource in the region. With its strategic location and environmental impact, this dam serves as a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in monitoring and assessing the risk factors associated with such critical infrastructure.

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.
