Ms05155 Lake Dam dam
Ms05155 Lake Dam
Ms05155 Lake Dam in Grenada, Mississippi, is a privately owned earth dam primarily designed for recreation purposes. The dam, with a height of 18 feet and a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet, is classified as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Located within the Vicksburg District, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and a surface area of 6 acres. Despite not having a specific dam length or year of completion recorded, the structure is deemed to be in a not rated condition assessment. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared or updated, the risk management measures in place are considered to be moderate, indicating a level of preparedness for potential emergencies.
Although lacking detailed information on certain aspects such as outlet gates and inspection dates, Ms05155 Lake Dam stands as a vital recreation resource in the area. With its picturesque setting and moderate risk level, water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of proper maintenance and regulation to ensure the safety and sustainability of this essential infrastructure.

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 Ms05155 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms05155 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.
