Summary
The dam, with a height of 27 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes and has a storage capacity of 434 acre-feet. Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, it is subject to state inspection, regulation, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards.
Located in the Mobile District, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and covers a surface area of 23 acres. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it has a moderate risk assessment score of 3. Although there are no associated structures or locks, the dam is equipped with an outlet gate. With a designated emergency action plan (EAP) status unknown, it is important for stakeholders to monitor and manage the risks associated with the dam to mitigate potential hazards.
Overall, Ms07311 Lake Dam is a significant water resource for recreational activities in the region. With its moderate risk assessment, it is essential for the responsible authorities to ensure regular inspections, maintenance, and emergency preparedness to uphold the safety and integrity of the dam for both recreational users and the surrounding environment.

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.
