Rogers Pond La00103 dam
Rogers Pond La00103
Rogers Pond La00103 is a picturesque recreational dam located in the Crain Community of Washington, Louisiana. 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.

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 Pond La00103
Where does the data for Rogers Pond La00103 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.
