Ms04822 Lake Dam dam
Ms04822 Lake Dam
Ms04822 Lake Dam in Clay, Mississippi, serves as a vital water resource for recreation in the area. This private dam stands at a height of 23 feet, providing a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres. While primarily used for recreational purposes, the dam is also regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring its safety and compliance with state standards. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam plays a crucial role in water management in the region.
Located in the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ms04822 Lake Dam is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type. Its spillway is uncontrolled, and it has a normal storage capacity of 96 acre-feet. Despite being not rated for its condition assessment, the dam has undergone state inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes to uphold its safety and operational integrity. With its strategic location and key role in water storage and recreation, Ms04822 Lake Dam stands as a crucial infrastructure for the community.
The dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness are essential components in ensuring the safety and reliability of the structure. While the dam has a moderate risk assessment, it is important to continue monitoring and maintaining its condition to prevent any potential hazards. With its scenic setting and recreational opportunities, Ms04822 Lake Dam serves as a significant landmark in the region, highlighting the intersection of water resource management, climate resilience, and community engagement.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Ms04822 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms04822 Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
