Summary
Built for recreational purposes, this Earth-type dam stands at 16 feet high with a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet and a surface area of 10.5 acres. Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment score of 3, indicating the need for proper risk management measures.
Located in the Memphis District, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has not been rated for its condition assessment. With no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management guidelines remain unclear. However, given its importance for recreation in the area, it is crucial to ensure that the dam is regularly inspected and maintained to prevent any potential risks to the surrounding community and environment.
While the exact completion year and inspection details are unavailable, it is evident that Ms07027 Lake Dam plays a significant role in providing recreational opportunities in Itawamba County, Mississippi. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor the dam's condition and implement necessary safety measures to protect both the structure and the people who enjoy its benefits.

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.
