Ms06804 Lake Dam dam
Ms06804 Lake Dam
Ms06804 Lake Dam in Mississippi is a privately owned structure regulated by the state's Department of Environmental Quality. The dam, primarily used for recreation, stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 122 acre-feet. With a surface area of 10.7 acres, the dam's spillway type is classified as 'Uncontrolled'. Despite being rated as 'Undetermined' in terms of hazard potential and 'Not Rated' in condition assessment, the risk associated with the dam is considered moderate.
Located in Scott County, Mississippi, this dam offers a picturesque setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore. While the exact year of completion and specific dam type are not listed, the structure's presence adds to the recreational opportunities in the area. As a significant water management feature, the dam's risk management measures and emergency response preparedness are vital considerations for ensuring the safety of the surrounding community.
In the realm of water resource management, understanding the intricacies of dams like Ms06804 Lake Dam is crucial for sustainable development and climate resilience. With a moderate risk assessment and state oversight in place, the dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between recreation, water storage, and safety in the face of changing climate patterns. As enthusiasts delve into the details of this structure, it becomes clear that the intersection of water resources and climate action is key in shaping a more sustainable future.

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 Ms06804 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms06804 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.
