Ms06141 Lake Dam dam
Ms06141 Lake Dam
Ms06141 Lake Dam in Mississippi is a private-owned structure regulated by the state's Department of Environmental Quality. This earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 16 feet and holds a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet, primarily serving recreational purposes in the region. While the hazard potential of the dam is deemed undetermined, its overall condition is not yet rated, suggesting a need for further assessment to ensure its safety and reliability.
Situated in Itawamba County, Mississippi, the dam's uncontrolled spillway type indicates a potential risk factor that needs to be carefully monitored and managed. Despite being designated as a recreational facility, the dam's risk assessment is moderate, prompting the need for effective risk management measures to safeguard both the structure and the surrounding area. With its location in the Mobile District and its proximity to water resources, climate enthusiasts and stakeholders should pay close attention to the ongoing maintenance and inspection efforts to mitigate any potential hazards associated with the dam.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts track the developments surrounding Ms06141 Lake Dam, the involvement of the state regulatory agency, regular inspections, and enforcement activities are crucial in ensuring the dam's integrity and safety. With its moderate risk assessment rating and the need for further evaluation of its condition, stakeholders must stay informed and engaged in the maintenance and management of this essential water structure to prevent any potential risks or hazards that could impact the local community and environment.

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 Ms06141 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms06141 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 Undetermined 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.
