Summary

The dam, with a height of 12 feet, provides a storage capacity of 196 acre feet and covers a surface area of 23.6 acres. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and has a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment score of 3.

Located in the New Orleans District, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and is not currently rated for its condition assessment. While the dam has not been inspected recently, it is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. The dam's emergency action plan status, including preparedness and compliance with guidelines, is currently unknown, highlighting potential areas for improvement in risk management and safety protocols.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts should take note of Ms07291 Lake Dam as a recreational water feature with a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam's location in Mississippi underscores the importance of proper regulation and maintenance to ensure the safety and sustainability of the surrounding ecosystem. With its private ownership and state jurisdiction, ongoing monitoring and assessment are crucial to mitigate potential risks and maintain the dam's integrity for future generations to enjoy.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
