Summary

The dam, primarily used for recreation, stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 1187 acre-feet. The dam's surface area covers 71.6 acres, providing a serene setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities.

Although the hazard potential of the dam is currently undetermined and its condition is not rated, the risk assessment categorizes it as moderate. This classification indicates that there may be potential risks associated with the dam, requiring careful monitoring and management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding area. Despite these factors, the dam has not undergone a condition assessment or inspection in recent records, highlighting the need for updated safety protocols and emergency preparedness.

Located within the Vicksburg District, the Ms07306 Lake Dam offers a tranquil escape for visitors seeking outdoor adventure and relaxation. With its uncontrolled spillway and picturesque surroundings, this earth dam provides a unique opportunity to appreciate the intersection of water resources and climate dynamics while emphasizing the importance of responsible dam management and maintenance in safeguarding the environment and public safety.

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.
