Summary
Built in 1969, this pond serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities like fishing and boating, with a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 126 cubic feet per second. The spillway, measuring 13 feet in width, is designed for controlled water release to prevent flooding and ensure the safety of the structure.
Managed by the private owner, Agency Pond is regulated and inspected by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. Despite being in good condition and not rated for assessment, the pond undergoes inspections every five years to maintain its safety standards. The primary purpose of Agency Pond is for recreation, offering a tranquil environment for visitors to enjoy the natural beauty and water-based activities while also serving as a vital water resource within its drainage area of 1.5 square miles.
Located in the city of SEALE, Agency Pond is a hidden gem within the New Orleans District, attracting water resource and climate enthusiasts alike. With its picturesque setting and well-maintained infrastructure, this pond provides a valuable recreational outlet for the community while also contributing to the overall water management and conservation efforts in the region. As a privately owned and regulated water resource, Agency Pond stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water usage and environmental stewardship in maintaining a harmonious relationship with nature.

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.
