Rogers Land Co. Irrigation Pond Dam dam
Rogers Land Co. Irrigation Pond Dam
Rogers Land Co. Irrigation Pond Dam, also known as Youngblood Lake Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Ashburn, Turner County, Georgia. Built in 1971 by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), this earth dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation for agricultural activities. With a height of 14.6 feet and a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet, the dam stands as a vital resource for water management in the region.
The dam, with a length of 765 feet and a drainage area of 125 acres, plays a crucial role in providing water for irrigation purposes to the surrounding farmlands. Classified as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been inspected since October 1986. Despite its age, the dam continues to support the local agricultural community by ensuring a stable water supply. The uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates add to the simplicity of the structure's design, emphasizing its functionality for irrigation needs.
While the dam's condition remains unrated, its operational history and low hazard potential indicate its reliability in managing water resources for agricultural activities in the area. With its modest surface area of 10 acres and normal storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, the Rogers Land Co. Irrigation Pond Dam stands as a testament to efficient water resource management for the benefit of the local farming community in Turner County, Georgia.

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 Land Co. Irrigation Pond Dam
Where does the data for Rogers Land Co. Irrigation Pond Dam 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.
