Summary

Amrose Pond Dam, located in Webster, Louisiana, is a private-owned structure regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. This earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and serves primarily for recreational purposes. With a storage capacity of 91 acre-feet, it impounds water from the TR-BRUSHY CREEK, covering a surface area of 13 acres.

Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, the dam's condition is assessed as fair, with the last inspection conducted in September 2020. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 45 feet, and the dam is designed with buttress and stone cores on a soil foundation. Its risk assessment is moderate, indicating a level 3 risk, although specific risk management measures are not specified in the available data.

D.G. Amrose Pond Dam plays a crucial role in the local community of COUCHWOOD, providing recreational opportunities and water storage for the surrounding area. Its structural integrity and maintenance are essential for ensuring the safety of downstream areas and preserving the ecological balance of the TR-BRUSHY CREEK watershed.

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.
