Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 91 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has a surface area of 5.1 acres, making it a significant feature in the local landscape.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and not yet rated for its condition, the risk assessment for Ms06724 Lake Dam is moderate. The dam has not been updated or inspected recently, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) are not documented. With its location in a picturesque setting, the dam presents both recreational opportunities and potential risks that need to be carefully managed and monitored by relevant authorities to ensure public safety and environmental protection in the area.
As a water resource and climate enthusiast, one can appreciate the importance of maintaining the integrity of dams like Ms06724 Lake Dam to safeguard against potential hazards and ensure sustainable use of water resources. By staying informed about the regulatory oversight, risk assessment, and emergency preparedness measures associated with dams, enthusiasts can contribute to the preservation and responsible management of these critical infrastructure components in the face of changing climatic conditions and increasing water demands.

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.
