Built in 1963, this Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 14 feet, with a hydraulic height of 8 feet, and has a capacity to store 77 acre-feet of water. The dam covers a surface area of 5.7 acres and has a drainage area of 0.19 square miles, providing essential support for the WATTENSAW BAYOU-OS river system.
Despite being privately owned, Omni Corporation Pond Dam is not regulated by the state and has a low hazard potential. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no emergency action plan in place as of the last update in 2018. With a maximum discharge capacity of 50 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, albeit with limited oversight and management measures in place.
As a key component of the local water supply infrastructure, Omni Corporation Pond Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of climate change challenges. Its operational history and capacity for water storage highlight the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and reliability of this essential structure for the community and surrounding environment.
