Summary
It serves primarily for recreational purposes and is classified as an Earth dam with a height of 21 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6.8 acres.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is moderate, suggesting a level of vulnerability that requires attention. The condition assessment is marked as 'Not Rated,' indicating a need for further evaluation to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks specific inspection dates, it is still subject to state regulatory oversight, permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
With its location in a picturesque setting and its potential for recreational activities, Ms07124 Lake Dam presents both opportunities and challenges for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Understanding the dam's risk profile, condition assessment, and regulatory status is crucial for ensuring its continued safe operation and enjoyment by the surrounding community. As efforts are made to manage and mitigate potential risks, this dam serves as a focal point for sustainable water resource management in the region.

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.
