Summary
Standing at a height of 38 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 166 acre-feet and covers an area of 8.3 acres. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam's spillway type ensures the safe release of excess water.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced to meet state standards. While its hazard potential is undetermined and its condition not yet rated, the risk assessment suggests a moderate level of risk. The dam's emergency action plan status, preparedness guidelines, and risk management measures are all currently unspecified.
Although further details regarding the dam's construction date, structural features, and maintenance history are lacking, enthusiasts of water resources and climate science will find Ms06788 Lake Dam to be an intriguing subject of study. Its location, purpose, and regulatory oversight provide a glimpse into the intricate balance between human activity and environmental management in safeguarding water resources.

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.
