Summary
The dam, classified as an Earth type, stands at a height of 20 feet and serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 114 acre-feet. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite its undetermined hazard potential and lack of a formal condition assessment, the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition. With no inspection frequency specified and no emergency action plan in place, the level of preparedness for potential risks remains unclear. The dam's risk management measures and detailed risk characterization are also not provided, leaving room for further evaluation in terms of safety and resilience.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and safety of dams would find Ms07014 Lake Dam to be an intriguing case study. With its unique features, including a moderate risk assessment and recreational purpose, this dam presents an opportunity for further investigation into its condition, risk mitigation strategies, and emergency preparedness measures. As the dam is under state jurisdiction and regulation, there is potential for collaboration with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality to ensure the continued safety and functionality of this important water resource infrastructure.

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.
