Summary

Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this earth dam serves as a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts looking to enjoy water-based activities in a serene environment. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has a moderate hazard potential rating.

Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms07299 Lake Dam is a vital water resource for the surrounding community. While the dam's condition is currently rated as "Not Rated," it undergoes regular inspections, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite its undetermined hazard potential, the dam provides valuable recreational opportunities and contributes to the local ecosystem.

With a risk assessment rating of "Moderate (3)," measures for risk management and emergency preparedness are essential for Ms07299 Lake Dam. Although specific details such as the last inspection date or the existence of an Emergency Action Plan are not available, the dam's importance as a recreational asset underscores the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to safeguard both the structure and the surrounding environment. As a significant water resource in Mississippi, Ms07299 Lake Dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities while also posing potential risks that must be managed effectively.

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.
