Summary
The dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a surface area of 10.4 acres. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is state-regulated and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Located in Holmes County, Mississippi, this dam is classified as having a moderate risk level and an undetermined hazard potential. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite these uncertainties, the dam serves as a vital resource for recreational activities in the area. The surrounding community should remain vigilant and prepared for any potential emergencies, as the dam's Emergency Action Plan status is currently unknown.
With a rich history of providing recreational opportunities and water storage capacity, Ms07201 Lake Dam plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and economy. Its presence not only enhances the natural beauty of the area but also serves as a valuable asset for residents and visitors alike. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, ongoing monitoring and maintenance of this dam will be essential to ensure its continued safety and functionality for future generations of water resource and climate enthusiasts.

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.
