Summary
With a height of 23 feet and a storage capacity of 159 acre-feet, this dam offers a serene retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition, highlighting the need for further evaluation and maintenance to ensure its long-term safety and functionality.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities. Although it has an uncontrolled spillway type and a surface area of 12 acres, the dam's associated structures and inspection frequency are not specified. With its scenic location and potential for outdoor activities, Ms06988 Lake Dam serves as a valuable resource for the local community and visitors alike, emphasizing the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.
As part of the Mobile District under the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms06988 Lake Dam contributes to the overall water infrastructure in the region. While its emergency action plan and risk management measures are not detailed, the dam's role in providing recreational opportunities underscores the need for continued monitoring and improvement to mitigate potential risks and ensure the resilience of this essential water resource.

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.
