Summary
Built in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans 430 feet in length, creating a serene surface area of 12 acres for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy. With a normal storage capacity of 184 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 792 cubic feet per second, this dam serves as a popular spot for fishing, boating, and other water activities.
Managed by a private owner and regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Rogers Pond La00103 has a low hazard potential and a fair condition assessment as of its last inspection in August 2016. The dam's spillway, which is uncontrolled and 60 feet wide, helps to regulate water levels and prevent overflow during heavy rainfall events. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam continues to provide a safe and enjoyable recreational space for visitors to the area.
Surrounded by the tranquil waters of TR-Joes Branch, Rogers Pond La00103 offers a peaceful retreat for nature lovers and climate enthusiasts alike. Its location within the New Orleans District provides easy access for residents and visitors to Washington Parish, making it a popular destination for outdoor adventures and wildlife observation. As efforts continue to maintain and monitor the dam's condition, it remains a vital part of the local ecosystem and a beloved recreational resource for the community.

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.
