Summary

The dam, primarily used for recreation, is an earth dam standing at 15 feet high with a storage capacity of 172 acre-feet. With a normal storage of 107 acre-feet and a surface area of 18 acres, the dam serves as a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities.

Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and not yet rated for its condition, the risk assessment for Ms06752 Lake Dam is moderate. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and has not been inspected or assessed for emergency preparedness measures. However, with its picturesque location and recreational opportunities, the dam continues to attract visitors seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Mississippi's beautiful landscape.

Located within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms06752 Lake Dam remains a focal point for environmental monitoring and risk management efforts. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to appreciate the beauty and recreational benefits of the dam, ongoing assessments and inspections will be crucial in ensuring the safety and sustainability of this essential water structure.

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. 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

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, 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.
