Summary
The dam, classified as an Earth type, boasts a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 85 acre-feet, with a surface area of 4.5 acres. Despite its undetermined hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam remains in good condition, yet not officially rated.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring its safety and compliance with environmental standards. Although lacking specific construction and completion dates, the dam continues to serve its intended purposes effectively. With an uncontrolled spillway type and no associated locks, the focus remains on maintaining the dam's integrity and functionality for the benefit of the surrounding community and water resource enthusiasts.
In the midst of ongoing risk assessments and emergency preparedness evaluations, Ms06776 Lake Dam remains a significant asset within the Vicksburg District, overseen by state authorities and operating within approved guidelines. As a private entity, the dam's operation and maintenance are essential to sustain its recreational offerings and water storage capabilities, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and adherence to regulatory protocols for the preservation of this critical water resource infrastructure.

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.
