Ms06751 Lake Dam dam
Ms06751 Lake Dam
Ms06751 Lake Dam, located in Warren, Mississippi, stands as a crucial water resource for the state, providing recreational opportunities and storing up to 234 acre-feet of water. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this earth dam reaches a height of 26 feet and covers a surface area of 15.4 acres. Despite its moderate risk assessment level and undetermined hazard potential, the dam's condition remains unrated, calling for further evaluation to ensure its safety and functionality.
With a primary purpose of recreation, Ms06751 Lake Dam serves as a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking water-based activities. Although the dam's spillway is uncontrolled and its emergency action plan status is unknown, the site offers a picturesque setting for leisure and relaxation. As the dam is privately owned, it raises questions about the level of oversight and maintenance needed to uphold its structural integrity in the face of potential climate-related challenges.
As part of the Vicksburg District in Mississippi, Ms06751 Lake Dam plays a vital role in the local community's water management and conservation efforts. With its location in a region susceptible to extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, ensuring the dam's resilience and safety becomes paramount. By staying informed and proactive in monitoring and maintaining this essential water resource, stakeholders can safeguard its long-term sustainability for future generations of water resource and climate enthusiasts.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Ms06751 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms06751 Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Undetermined hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
