Ms07005 Lake Dam dam
Ms07005 Lake Dam
Ms07005 Lake Dam in Tishomingo, Mississippi is a privately owned dam regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The dam, primarily used for recreation, is classified as an earth dam with a height of 16 feet and a storage capacity of 422 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk rating of 3, indicating a need for monitoring and potential risk management measures.
Located within the Nashville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and a surface area of 25.3 acres. While the dam is not currently rated for condition, inspections, and emergency action preparedness, it is essential for water resource and climate enthusiasts to understand the dam's significance in the region. With its recreational purpose and moderate risk level, stakeholders should stay informed about any developments or changes in the dam's condition and management practices.
As an integral part of the water infrastructure in Tishomingo County, Mississippi, Ms07005 Lake Dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities and storing water for various uses. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's risk rating underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and potential risk mitigation efforts to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. Enthusiasts and stakeholders should continue to track updates and developments related to the dam to support its sustainable management and operation for the benefit of the community and the 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 Ms07005 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms07005 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.
