Summary
Martin, Louisiana, is a vital facility owned and operated by the local government. Designed by Domingue, Szabo and Assoc., this plant plays a crucial role in regulating water resources in the area. With state regulatory agencies overseeing its operations, inspections, and enforcement, the plant has been in operation since 1982, serving the community with a storage capacity of 357 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 255 acre-feet.
The dam at the City of Breaux Bridge Oxidation Lagoon Wastewater Treatment Plant, primarily an earth structure with buttress and stone core types, stands at a height of 11 feet and has a hydraulic height of 7 feet. The plant's dam has a length of 6030 feet and a surface area of 47 acres, with a controlled spillway type and vertical lift outlet gates. Despite being assessed as fair in condition in 2014, the plant is deemed to have a significant hazard potential, warranting a very high risk assessment rating.
With Representative Clay Higgins (R) overseeing the Vicksburg District, the City of Breaux Bridge Oxidation Lagoon Wastewater Treatment Plant remains a critical infrastructure for managing water resources in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the plant's design, operation, and risk assessment provide valuable insights into sustainable water management practices in the face of environmental challenges.

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.
