| Lake V refers to a portion of the Robinhood
community in Rankin County,
Mississippi. Consisting of a 30 acre lake and
the surrounding property, Lake V is owned by
residents whose lots extend into the lake. The remaining acreage
not owned by individual residents is owned by Lake V Corporation.
Residents of Lake V have worked
together showing strong community spirit to make improvements to the
Lake V dam as directed by the
Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Contributions of labor and money from the Lake V community have enabled
extensive clearing of woody vegetation and completion
of required
earthwork below the dam. Contributions and expenses are noted in
the table below. Funds are maintained by Greg Nail.
Revisions to DEQ standards established the requirement for an engineering study of the dam to be completed by March 2006. The study potentially includes three phases: A Breach Analysis, an engineering survey, and development of an Emergency Action Plan. It remains unclear whether Lake V will be required to complete all three phases. As of February 2006, DEQ had announced that only the Breach Analysis had to be completed initially. The other phases would depend on the outcome of the Breach Analysis. DEQ suspended its initial (March 31, 2006) deadline for completion of the Breach Analysis, only requiring that an engineering firm be identified to perform this task. On March 12, 2006, Greg Nail contracted with Aqua Engineering Services in Jackson, MS, to perform the Breach Analysis. DEQ was notified of this selection on March 24, 2006. To view this letter, click here. Contracted cost of the Breach Analysis was $2,500. This work was completed by Aqua Engineering and a report was submitted by them to DEQ on January 23, 2008. The most important finding of the Breach Analysis was the recommendation that Lake V's risk level be lowered from that of a "High Hazard" to a "Significant Hazard" dam.

(Note: map2 is very large, so it may take a couple of minutes to download.) Lake V currently has a deficit
balance of $1,171.56 as shown in the ledger which follows. This
deficit is partly from the breach analysis and partly from the
maintenance done at the end of 2005. Residents who have a personal
investment in maintaining Lake V are being asked to contribute to
resolving this deficit. Janet Spears has
volunteered to coordinate notification of residents and collection of
contributions. The remainder of the balance due for the Breach
Analysis has been paid by Greg Nail in the form of a loan to Lake V, with
expectation that this will be repaid by member contributions. 2008: Thanks to all for the big turn-out over
several weeks. Extensive work has been completed to remove woody
vegetation and completely clear the entire drainage spillway. February 6, 2010: Thanks to all who turned out to help with cleanup on the dam. Woody vegetation was cleared and the spillway was widened and cleared. February 2011: Routine maintenance of the dam and spillway to clear vegetation is under way. All lake residents are invited to help out as you have time. The goal is to clean woody vegetation from the dam and clean all vegetation from the spillway. |
