Summary
Owned by a public utility, this facility was completed in 2004 and serves the primary purpose of water supply. Situated along Bayou Mallet, this Earth dam structure stands at a height of 20 feet with a length of 4700 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1500 acre-feet.
With a surface area of 32.2 acres and a drainage area of 0.24 square miles, the Acadia Power Partners Holding Pond plays a vital role in water management and conservation in the region. The dam has a high hazard potential but is currently assessed to be in satisfactory condition, with inspections conducted regularly. In the event of an emergency, the facility has uncontrolled outlet gates and a controlled spillway to manage water discharge.
The Acadia Power Partners Holding Pond is a key component of the water infrastructure in Acadia County, Louisiana, ensuring a stable and reliable water supply for the community. This facility, regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, highlights the importance of proper maintenance and management of water resources to address the challenges posed by climate change and increasing water demand in the region.

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.
