Summary
Built in 1983 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves a primary purpose of creating a Fish and Wildlife Pond, as well as providing recreational opportunities for locals and visitors alike. With a height of 18 feet and a length of 650 feet, Rogers Dam has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet and a surface area of 13 acres.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Rogers Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 3. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 48 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 200 cubic feet per second. While the dam is not currently regulated or inspected by the state, it has not been rated for its condition and there is no emergency action plan in place.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Rogers Dam can appreciate its contribution to the local ecosystem by providing a habitat for fish and wildlife. Its location on the Noxabee River offers opportunities for recreational activities such as fishing and boating, making it a valuable resource for the community. With its unique design and historical significance, Rogers Dam is a noteworthy structure that showcases the intersection of human engineering and environmental conservation.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
