Summary
Situated on Stanley Creek, the dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a hydraulic height of 14 feet, with a length of 544 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 190 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 133 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 19 acres.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition, the dam is regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 60 feet, and the dam is located in Red River County, Louisiana, under the jurisdiction of the Vicksburg District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With a risk assessment rating of moderate, the dam has not undergone any recent modifications and is subject to regular inspections every 5 years.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the Randall Dupree Pond Dam can appreciate its contributions to recreational activities in the area while also being mindful of its regulatory oversight and maintenance requirements. The dam serves as a vital structure for water management and conservation in the region, highlighting the importance of responsible stewardship and risk management practices to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam and surrounding areas.

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.
