Summary
With a dam height of 12 feet and a storage capacity of 168 acre-feet, this dam provides a surface area of 19.2 acres for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental regulations. While it does not have a designated dam type, it features an uncontrolled spillway and does not have any associated structures or locks. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently unknown, highlighting the need for further assessment and preparedness in case of emergencies.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ms07289 Lake Dam serves as a recreational oasis in Mississippi, offering a tranquil escape for outdoor activities. Its location, characteristics, and management by the state agency provide valuable insights into the importance of monitoring and maintaining dam infrastructure to ensure public safety and environmental protection in the face of changing climate 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.
