Summary

This private dam, regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, serves as a vital recreational source for the local community. With a height of 20 feet and a length of 860 feet, this earth dam provides a storage capacity of 648 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 32.4 acres.

The dam's primary purpose is recreation, offering locals and visitors alike a serene oasis for leisure activities. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam is subject to regular inspections every five years to ensure its safety and longevity. The dam boasts an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 160 feet and is surrounded by the tranquil waters of TR-Coulee Creek, creating a harmonious blend of nature and human intervention. With its moderate risk assessment rating, the Advance Country Club Dam stands as a model of responsible water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts marvel at the Advance Country Club Dam's architectural design and environmental impact, it serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human development and natural ecosystems. The dam's association with recreation highlights the importance of sustainable infrastructure that not only meets human needs but also respects the surrounding environment. With its commitment to regular inspections and maintenance, the dam sets a high standard for other structures in the region, ensuring the safety and well-being of all those who benefit from its presence. In a world where water resources are increasingly under threat from climate change, the Advance Country Club Dam stands as a beacon of hope and resilience for future generations to come.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
