Nearby: Ms05081 Lake Dam Ms04255 Lake Dam
Last Updated: February 14, 2026
Ms06831 Lake Dam, located in Marshall, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
Summary
The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 298 acre-feet and a surface area of 17.8 acres. Standing at a height of 28 feet, the earth dam has an uncontrolled spillway type and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
Despite not having a designated primary dam type, the structure is actively inspected, permitted, and enforced by state regulatory agencies. The dam's hazard potential is currently undetermined, with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unspecified, the facility meets state guidelines and is reported to have a moderate risk profile. Overall, Ms06831 Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in dam infrastructure and management practices in Mississippi.

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.
