Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is classified as an earth dam with a height of 14 feet and a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam provides a surface area of 8.3 acres for recreational activities. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it undergoes state inspections, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. With a history of uncontrolled spillway and no associated structures, this dam serves as a vital resource for water recreation enthusiasts in the area.
Although the dam's construction year and inspection frequency are unspecified, its purpose remains focused on recreation. The surrounding community benefits from the reservoir's normal storage capacity of 48 acre-feet, offering a peaceful retreat for outdoor enthusiasts. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the management and maintenance of dams like Ms06999 Lake Dam are crucial for sustaining the ecosystem and recreational opportunities 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.
