Summary
Tammany, Louisiana, is a privately owned water resource with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam, constructed in 1968, is an earth type structure with a height of 14 feet and a length of 1720 feet. The pond has a maximum storage capacity of 994 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 852 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 142 acres.
Managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure its safety and functionality. The hazard potential of the dam is classified as low, with a fair condition assessment as of the last inspection in March 2019. Despite its moderate risk status, the pond is a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers in the St. Tammany Corner Community, attracting visitors to enjoy the recreational opportunities it offers.
With its scenic location near the TR-Big Reed Break stream and its relatively low hazard potential, Goodyears Pond presents a unique opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate and explore the intersection of human infrastructure and natural landscapes. As a privately owned facility with state oversight, the pond serves as a valuable asset for both residents and visitors looking to engage in outdoor activities while also contributing to the local ecosystem and water management efforts in the region.

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.
