Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 230 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 104 acre-feet. The dam covers a surface area of 10.3 acres and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway.
Despite being regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and undergoing state inspection and enforcement, the hazard potential of the dam is currently undetermined, with a moderate risk assessment rating. The condition of the dam is not rated, and there is no emergency action plan in place. The dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are also not specified in the available data.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ms07190 Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. The lack of detailed information on the dam's condition and emergency preparedness highlights the importance of regular inspections and the need for robust risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of such structures. Further research and monitoring of this dam could provide valuable insights into enhancing dam safety and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
