Ms06901 Lake Dam dam
Ms06901 Lake Dam
Ms06901 Lake Dam in Attala, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure designed for recreation purposes. The dam, classified as an earth dam, stands at a height of 11 feet and has a storage capacity of 296 acre-feet. With a surface area of 41.9 acres, the dam provides a serene and picturesque setting for outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, and wildlife observation. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type and moderate risk assessment, the hazard potential of the dam remains undetermined, highlighting the need for further evaluation and risk management measures.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Located in the Mobile District, the dam is a vital water resource in the region, contributing to the preservation of natural habitats and the enhancement of recreational opportunities for local residents and visitors. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts are essential to mitigate potential risks and safeguard the surrounding environment from adverse impacts.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the importance of sustainable management practices for dams like Ms06901 Lake Dam becomes increasingly crucial. By implementing emergency action plans, conducting regular inspections, and investing in risk assessment and mitigation measures, stakeholders can enhance the resilience of the dam and protect the community against potential disasters. Ultimately, ensuring the long-term safety and functionality of the dam is essential for promoting environmental sustainability and maintaining the quality of water resources for future generations.

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 Ms06901 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms06901 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.
