Ms07014 Lake Dam dam
Ms07014 Lake Dam
Ms07014 Lake Dam, located in Lee, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The dam, classified as an Earth type, stands at a height of 20 feet and serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 114 acre-feet. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite its undetermined hazard potential and lack of a formal condition assessment, the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition. With no inspection frequency specified and no emergency action plan in place, the level of preparedness for potential risks remains unclear. The dam's risk management measures and detailed risk characterization are also not provided, leaving room for further evaluation in terms of safety and resilience.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and safety of dams would find Ms07014 Lake Dam to be an intriguing case study. With its unique features, including a moderate risk assessment and recreational purpose, this dam presents an opportunity for further investigation into its condition, risk mitigation strategies, and emergency preparedness measures. As the dam is under state jurisdiction and regulation, there is potential for collaboration with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality to ensure the continued safety and functionality of this important water resource 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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Ms07014 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms07014 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.
