Ms07054 Lake Dam dam
Ms07054 Lake Dam
Ms07054 Lake Dam, located in Choctaw, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. Its primary purpose is for recreation, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam is an earth dam with a height of 31 feet and a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet. The spillway type is uncontrolled, indicating a need for careful management of water flow.
While the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," it is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. The risk management measures for the dam are not specified, but its location and design suggest a focus on safety and responsible maintenance. With a surface area of 5.4 acres and a normal storage capacity of 74 acre-feet, the dam plays a significant role in the surrounding area's water resource management and recreational opportunities.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Ms07054 Lake Dam will find it to be a unique structure with potential for both enjoyment and conservation efforts. The dam's presence enhances the local landscape and provides a valuable water source for recreational activities. Its risk assessment indicates a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality. Overall, this dam serves as a vital component of the water infrastructure in Choctaw, Mississippi, and highlights the importance of responsible dam management in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Ms07054 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms07054 Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
