Summary
This privately owned structure, regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, stands at a height of 10 feet with a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet. With a surface area of 13 acres and a drainage area of 1.5 square miles, the dam is classified as an earth dam with buttress and stone core types.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Kleinpeter Dairy Dam has a moderate risk rating. The last inspection in November 2018 revealed no major issues, and the dam is monitored for safety with a frequency of every five years. While the dam currently has uncontrolled spillways, it lacks outlet gates and associated structures. The risk management measures and emergency action plan status for the dam are not specified in the available data.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts would find Kleinpeter Dairy Dam an intriguing structure due to its unique design features and location in St. Helena, Louisiana. As part of the Vicksburg District, the dam's presence along Coffman Creek highlights its vital role in supporting agricultural activities in the area. The data provides valuable insights into the dam's specifications, regulatory oversight, and risk assessment, making it a noteworthy site for further study in the realm of water resource management and climate resilience.

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.
