Summary
This earth dam, standing at 20 feet in height, serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet and a surface area of 6.7 acres. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is classified with a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment.
Located in Attala County, Mississippi, the dam presents a unique opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore the intersection of man-made infrastructure with natural environments. While the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, its presence on the landscape adds to the diversity of water management systems in the region. The dam's moderate risk level indicates a need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the future of Ms06903 Lake Dam will likely involve regular inspections and potential updates to its emergency action plan to meet current guidelines. As a site for outdoor recreation, the dam also provides valuable habitat for wildlife and contributes to the local ecosystem. Its location within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers further underscores the importance of maintaining a balance between human activity and environmental stewardship in managing water resources and climate challenges in the region.

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.
