Summary
The dam, with a height of 12 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing storage of 55 acre-feet of water and covering a surface area of 6.7 acres. The dam, classified as an Earth type, has an uncontrolled spillway and is considered to have a low hazard potential.
Despite being rated as not assessed for condition, the dam is subject to regular inspection, permitting, and enforcement by state authorities. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, indicating potential hazards that need to be managed. Located within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District, the structure does not feature any associated locks or outlet gates, emphasizing its simple design and purpose.
Overall, Ms07015 Lake Dam presents a unique opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore the balance between recreational use and safety regulations in the management of water infrastructure. With its moderate risk level and active state oversight, this dam exemplifies the importance of maintaining sustainable practices in safeguarding water resources for future generations.

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.
