Summary
The dam, with a height of 22 feet and a storage capacity of 195 acre-feet, serves as a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy water activities in its 11.9-acre surface area. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, highlighting the need for ongoing risk management measures. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, its emergency action plan status is unknown, suggesting potential gaps in preparedness for unforeseen events. With its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam presents a unique challenge in managing water levels and mitigating potential risks associated with flooding or overflow.
Although the dam does not have a designated dam type, its earth structure and private ownership make it a valuable asset for the local community. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, maintaining the safety and functionality of dams like Ms06733 Lake Dam is crucial for preserving recreational opportunities and protecting the surrounding environment. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of proactive risk management and maintenance practices to ensure the long-term sustainability of this vital water resource.

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.
