Summary
This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet, with a storage capacity of 545 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the La Grue Bayou-TR stream and is under the jurisdiction of the Memphis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment labeled as "Not Rated," Daugherty Reservoir Dam has not been inspected or assessed recently. Despite its relatively small size and capacity, the dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities and water resource management in the area. The surrounding community and environmental enthusiasts alike can appreciate the importance of this structure in maintaining the local water supply and ecosystem.
While Daugherty Reservoir Dam may not be as prominent as some larger dams, its contribution to the region's water resource management and recreational activities should not be underestimated. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding and appreciating the role of smaller dams like Daugherty Reservoir Dam is key to promoting sustainable water management practices and preserving the natural environment for future generations.

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.
