Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 20 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 111 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 7.8 acres. While the dam's hazard potential is currently labeled as undetermined, its risk assessment is moderate, indicating a level 3 risk.
Located within the Vicksburg District, Ms07260 Lake Dam does not have any associated structures or outlet gates. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam undergoes regular state inspections, enforcement, and permitting procedures. Even though the last inspection date and other key assessment details are not specified in the data, the dam remains operational for recreational activities, ensuring the safety and enjoyment of water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
With a spillway type designated as uncontrolled, Ms07260 Lake Dam poses a moderate risk to its surroundings. As water and climate enthusiasts explore this privately owned structure for recreational purposes, it is essential to acknowledge the potential hazards and management measures that may need to be implemented in the future. As the dam continues to provide storage and surface area for recreational activities, ongoing monitoring and evaluation will be crucial to ensure its safety and functionality in the long run.

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.
