2, also known as Harvey's Lake No. 3, is a privately owned earth dam located in Evangeline, Louisiana along TR-Bayou Chicot. Built in 1972 by the USDA NRCS, this dam primarily serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, while also supporting purposes such as Fire Protection, Stock, Or Small Fish Pond, and Recreation. The dam stands at a height of 23 feet with a structural height of 32 feet, and a length of 450 feet, providing a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential, Green Wing Dam No. 2 has been assessed as unsatisfactory in condition as of May 2017. The dam has a moderate risk level (3) and is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 30 feet, and the dam has a drainage area of 0.05 square miles. With its importance for fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, and fire protection, it is crucial to ensure the proper maintenance and monitoring of Green Wing Dam No. 2 to mitigate any potential risks and ensure its long-term sustainability in the face of changing climate and water resource challenges.
