Ms06984 Lake Dam, located in Prentiss, Mississippi, is a private dam primarily used for recreational purposes.


Summary

The dam is classified as an Earth type structure with a height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 82 acre-feet. The dam has a spillway type of 'Uncontrolled' and a surface area of 7.8 acres, making it a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts in the area.

Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement. While the hazard potential is currently listed as 'Undetermined', the risk assessment for the dam is moderate (3), indicating that some risk management measures may need to be implemented in the future. The dam's condition assessment is 'Not Rated', suggesting that further evaluation may be needed to ensure its safety and integrity.

Although the dam has not been rated for its condition, its location and design make it an important fixture for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region. With its recreational focus and potential risk assessment, Ms06984 Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between water management and public safety in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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. 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

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, 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.
