Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet, providing a picturesque surface area of 6.3 acres for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type and undetermined hazard potential, the dam is currently rated as 'Not Rated' in terms of condition assessment and has a moderate risk level of 3.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Ms07056 Lake Dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plans are yet to be fully assessed and updated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and mitigation efforts. With its scenic location and recreational offerings, this dam serves as both a valuable water resource and a potential area of interest for climate enthusiasts interested in the intersection of infrastructure and environmental stewardship.
Overall, Ms07056 Lake Dam presents a unique blend of recreational opportunities and regulatory considerations, making it a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike. As efforts continue to assess and manage the dam's risk profile, it remains a symbol of the delicate balance between human recreation and environmental conservation in the Mississippi region. With its moderate risk level and undetermined hazard potential, this earth dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance to safeguard both the community and the surrounding natural 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.
