Summary
This earth dam, standing at a height of 34 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes and has a storage capacity of 234 acre-feet. With a normal storage level of 149 acre-feet and a surface area of 10.9 acres, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and a moderate risk level, the condition of Ms07147 Lake Dam remains unrated. The dam has not undergone a recent inspection, and essential emergency action plans have not been updated or reviewed. While the dam's risk management measures and preparedness for emergencies are unclear, its location and purpose make it a valuable resource for water enthusiasts in the area.
As stakeholders in water resource management and climate advocacy, there is a need to monitor and assess the safety and sustainability of Ms07147 Lake Dam. With its recreational importance and potential environmental impact, ensuring proper regulation, inspection, and emergency preparedness for this dam is crucial. As climate change continues to affect water resources, understanding the risk associated with dams like Ms07147 Lake Dam is essential for safeguarding both the community and 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.
