Summary
Completed in 1937, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 700 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 300 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 1400 feet and covers a surface area of 180.7 acres.
Although the dam has a low hazard potential, it is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The dam has not been inspected in recent times, and there is no established inspection frequency. Despite being privately owned, the dam is not regulated or inspected by the state authorities, and there are no emergency action plans or risk management measures in place.
Situated along the Bayou La Grue-TR river, Strohl Reservoir Dam serves as a crucial water resource for irrigation in the region. With its historical significance dating back to the 1930s, this dam provides essential water storage for agricultural activities in the area. However, given the lack of recent inspections and maintenance, there may be a need for increased oversight and monitoring to ensure the safety and longevity of this vital water infrastructure.

Dam Data Reference
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.
