Summary
The dam, situated on Hurricane Bayou, is privately owned and stands at a structural height of 9 feet with a hydraulic height of 6 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 312 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 112 acre-feet.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential, Sollars Reservoir Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not had any recent inspections or emergency action plans prepared. The surrounding area does not have inundation maps or risk assessments available. With no state jurisdiction or permitting required, the dam's operations and maintenance fall solely under the responsibility of the private owner.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may be interested in the engineering and management aspects of Sollars Reservoir Dam. The dam plays a crucial role in providing irrigation water to the local area and its design and construction details, such as the earth dam type and dimensions, reflect the careful planning that went into its creation. Monitoring the condition and safety of the dam, as well as implementing emergency preparedness measures, are important considerations for ensuring the continued functionality and integrity of this vital water resource 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.
