Summary

The dam, constructed for recreational purposes, stands at a height of 23 feet and has a storage capacity of 115 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and its hazard potential is currently undetermined, with a moderate risk assessment rating.

Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam's condition is currently not rated, and it has not undergone recent inspections. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unknown, it is clear that the dam serves as a crucial recreational resource in the area. With its picturesque 8.2-acre surface area, the dam offers opportunities for water-based activities and outdoor enjoyment for visitors and locals alike.

Despite its unknown condition assessment and hazard potential, Ms07018 Lake Dam remains a focal point for recreation in the region. As a privately-owned structure, its importance for water resource management and climate enthusiasts lies in its contribution to the local ecosystem and community well-being. With its moderate risk assessment, the dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human intervention and natural forces in the management of water resources and infrastructure.

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.
