Summary
This earth dam, standing at a height of 25 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes with a storage capacity of 229 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and its hazard potential is currently undetermined with a moderate risk assessment.
Situated in the Vicksburg District, this dam provides not only recreational opportunities but also contributes to the local ecosystem by creating a surface area of 16.8 acres. While the dam's condition assessment is not rated and its emergency action plan status is unknown, it remains a significant feature in the state's water resource infrastructure. The dam's location and design reflect a blend of human ingenuity and natural beauty, making it a compelling site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate.
Despite the lack of certain information such as the completion year and last inspection date, the Ms06783 Lake Dam continues to stand as a testament to human interaction with the environment. As discussions surrounding water resource management and climate change intensify, this dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human needs and environmental stewardship in the face of an evolving climate landscape.

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.
