Summary
This earth dam, standing at 25 feet tall, serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a storage capacity of 174 acre-feet and covering an impressive surface area of 8.8 acres. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," it is subject to regular state inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes to ensure its safety and functionality. With a designated emergency action plan and risk management measures, the dam is equipped to handle potential hazards effectively. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment remains moderate, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any risks effectively.
With its strategic location and vital role in providing recreational opportunities, Ms06726 Lake Dam stands as a significant water resource in the area. Its careful regulation and management by state authorities ensure that it continues to serve its purpose effectively while maintaining safety standards and minimizing potential risks to the surrounding environment and 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.
