Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet, providing a surface area of 5.1 acres for recreational activities. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring that it meets state inspection and enforcement requirements.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level of 3. Although the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam has not been inspected recently. The presence of an uncontrolled spillway indicates a potential for excess water discharge during high flow events, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any safety risks associated with the dam.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ms06723 Lake Dam serves as an intriguing case study of a privately owned recreational structure in Mississippi. Its location, design, and regulatory oversight provide valuable insights into the management of water resources and infrastructure in the region. As efforts continue to assess and address potential risks associated with the dam, the importance of sustainable water management practices remains paramount to ensure the safety and well-being of surrounding communities and the environment.

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.
