Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 61 acre-feet. It is situated in Attala County and covers a surface area of 4.6 acres, making it a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts looking to enjoy water-based activities.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and not rated in terms of condition assessment, the risk assessment for this dam is moderate. With an uncontrolled spillway type and no locks associated with it, the structure is deemed to have moderate risk management measures in place.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ms06902 Lake Dam presents an opportunity to explore the intersection of human-made infrastructure and natural landscapes. The dam's presence not only provides recreational opportunities but also underscores the importance of proper management and maintenance to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems. Its location within the Mobile District adds another layer of complexity to its management and regulation, making it a fascinating case study in water resource governance.

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.
