Rogers dam
Rogers
Rogers is a private dam located in Nutrioso, Apache County, Arizona, with a primary purpose of serving as a fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. Constructed in 1910, this earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and stretches 395 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet and a surface area of 12.6 acres. The dam is regulated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources and has state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
Situated on Colter Creek, Rogers dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. While the condition of the dam is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every five years, with the last recorded inspection in July 2011. The spillway of this dam is uncontrolled with a width of 11 feet, and it is noted for having a moderate risk management measure in place. Despite its age, Rogers dam continues to serve its intended purposes effectively and contributes to water resource management in the region.
With its historical significance and functional role in fire protection and stock management, Rogers dam stands as a testament to early water infrastructure development in Arizona. As climate and water resource enthusiasts, the data on Rogers provides insight into the engineering and regulatory aspects of managing dams in the region, highlighting the importance of monitoring and maintaining these structures for public safety and environmental sustainability.

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 Rogers
Where does the data for Rogers 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.
