2, also known as Squire Creek, is a privately-owned structure located in Choudrant, Louisiana. This earth dam, with a height of 18 feet and a hydraulic height of 16 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes along the tributary to Bayou Choudrant. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the condition assessment of the dam was deemed unsatisfactory during the last inspection in September 2018.
Managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the dam has a storage capacity of 283 acre-feet and a surface area of 20.8 acres. The spillway, with a width of 91 feet, is of the uncontrolled type. While the risk assessment categorizes the structure as moderate, no emergency action plan has been prepared or updated, raising concerns about the response capability in case of a potential failure. With a frequency of inspections set at every five years, ensuring the safety and stability of Davison Dam No. 2 remains essential for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
