Ms07141 Lake Dam dam
Ms07141 Lake Dam
Ms07141 Lake Dam, located in Marion, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet, with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam's spillway is classified as uncontrolled, with a hazard potential that is currently undetermined and a moderate risk assessment rating.
While specific details about the dam's construction date and associated structures are not provided, its location and purpose make it a significant feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam's moderate risk rating suggests that there may be potential challenges in its management and maintenance, warranting further attention from regulatory agencies and stakeholders. With its proximity to the Vicksburg District and the oversight of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Ms07141 Lake Dam serves as a focal point for monitoring and ensuring the safety and efficiency of water resources in the area.
For those interested in the intersection of water management and environmental protection, Ms07141 Lake Dam offers a case study in the regulatory framework surrounding private dam ownership in Mississippi. The dam's condition assessment is currently labeled as "Not Rated," indicating a need for ongoing evaluation and potential improvements to ensure its long-term sustainability. As water resources continue to face challenges from climate change and increasing demands, understanding the role of dams like Ms07141 in providing recreational opportunities while also managing risks becomes crucial for sustainable water resource management in the region.

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 Ms07141 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms07141 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.
