Summary
This earth dam stands at a structural height of 13 feet and a hydraulic height of 10 feet, with a length of 586 feet. It has a storage capacity of 356 acre-feet and a normal storage of 260 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 61.2 acres. Despite being privately owned, the dam is not regulated by the state and has a low hazard potential.
Situated on Mill Bayou-TR, this dam is managed by private owners and has not been inspected or assessed for its condition. While it serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood risk reduction, it lacks certain regulatory oversight and maintenance protocols. The surrounding area, including Arkansas County, Arkansas, relies on this dam to mitigate potential flooding events and protect the local ecosystem. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is imperative to ensure the continued safety and efficiency of this vital structure, considering its vital role in the region's water management.
Although Rodgers Lake No 2 Dam has not been rated for its current condition, its historical significance and impact on the local water resources cannot be understated. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water management in the region, understanding and monitoring the functionality of this dam is crucial. With further assessment and potential regulatory measures, this dam can continue to play a pivotal role in safeguarding the community against flooding and preserving the delicate balance of the local environment.

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.
