Summary
Built for recreational purposes, this Earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 82 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam is inspected, permitted, and enforced by state agencies, ensuring its safety and functionality for the surrounding community.
Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Ms07020 Lake Dam offers a surface area of 7.1 acres for recreational activities. Its primary purpose of recreation is reflected in its normal storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, providing ample water resources for visitors to enjoy. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks detailed information on its construction, it remains a key feature in the local landscape, offering opportunities for boating, fishing, and other water-based activities.
Despite its modest size and low hazard potential, Ms07020 Lake Dam plays a vital role in the community's water resource management and climate resilience efforts. With its regulated status and consistent inspections, the dam serves as a reliable source of recreation and water storage for residents and visitors alike. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like the Ms07020 Lake Dam are essential for maintaining sustainable water practices and ensuring the long-term health of the surrounding ecosystem.

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.
