Ms06932 Lake Dam dam
Ms06932 Lake Dam
Ms06932 Lake Dam in Mississippi is a privately owned structure used primarily for recreation purposes. The dam, categorized as an Earth type, stands at a height of 19 feet and has a storage capacity of 147 acre-feet. With a surface area of 11.4 acres, the dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and its hazard potential is rated as low. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Located in Carroll County, Mississippi, Ms06932 Lake Dam offers a tranquil setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. The dam's design and construction details, as well as its overall condition assessment, are not currently rated. However, the risk assessment for the dam is considered moderate, indicating a level of potential risk that warrants monitoring and management measures. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam plays a crucial role in providing a scenic and functional water resource for the local community.
As part of the Vicksburg District, the dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have associated structures such as locks or gates. While emergency preparedness measures like an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) are not specified, the dam's risk management measures are under review. With its serene surroundings and moderate risk level, Ms06932 Lake Dam serves as a valuable asset for both water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to appreciate and preserve the beauty and functionality of this recreational water structure in Mississippi.

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 Ms06932 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms06932 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.
