Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet, with a storage capacity of 125 acre-feet and a surface area of 8.5 acres. The dam is state-regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring that it undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to maintain safety standards.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating. While the condition of the dam is currently not rated, it is important to note that the emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures for the dam are not specified. With its uncontrolled spillway type and lack of associated structures, it is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the risk factors associated with Ms06917 Lake Dam to ensure the safety and integrity of the surrounding area.
As a key feature in the Mobile District, Ms06917 Lake Dam's location and purpose make it a significant recreational resource in the region. The dam's private ownership and state regulatory oversight highlight the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to mitigate any potential risks. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should keep a close eye on the dam's condition and any updates from the regulatory agencies to ensure the continued safety and sustainability of this essential water infrastructure.

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.
