Summary
Helena, Louisiana. Managed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam structure was completed in 1937 and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, recreation, and wildlife preservation. With a dam height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 198 acre-feet, this 14-acre pond is fed by TR- Taylor Creek and has a drainage area of 0.15 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential, the pond's condition assessment is rated as poor, with a moderate risk level. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 50 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 40 cubic feet per second. The last inspection took place in August 2018, with a scheduled frequency of every 5 years. While the primary purpose of Youngs Pond is for fish and wildlife habitat, its recreational value and contribution to local water resources make it a valuable asset for the community.
Located in Tangipahoa, Louisiana, Youngs Pond provides a vital ecosystem for local flora and fauna, while also serving as a source of water for recreational activities. The dam, constructed with stone core and soil foundation, stands at 23 feet in height and spans 350 feet in length. With its historical significance dating back to the 1930s, Youngs Pond remains a noteworthy landmark in the region, showcasing the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in preserving natural habitats for future generations to enjoy.

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.
