Summary
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 61 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 39 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, providing a surface area of 5.8 acres for water activities.
Despite being categorized as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition. It features an uncontrolled spillway type and is not associated with any other structures. Situated within the New Orleans District, the dam does not have a designated inspection frequency or emergency action plan prepared. However, it remains an important water resource for the local community, offering opportunities for leisure and enjoyment.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Ms07208 Lake Dam to be an intriguing site for its recreational significance and environmental impact. As a privately owned structure regulated by state authorities, the dam serves as a vital water storage facility in the region, contributing to the overall water management efforts in Mississippi. Its unique design and features make it a noteworthy landmark for those interested in the intersection of water resources and infrastructure development in the area.

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.
