Summary
2, also known as Highway 21 Pond, is a privately owned water resource located in Bush, Louisiana. Built in 1982 by designer Dave Goodyear, this recreational pond serves as a picturesque retreat for local residents and visitors alike. Situated along TR-Simmons Creek in St. Tammany County, the dam stands at a height of 8 feet with a hydraulic height of 6 feet, offering a serene setting for outdoor activities.
With a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and a surface area of 20 acres, Money Hill Pond No. 2 provides a tranquil escape for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. Despite its poor condition assessment, the dam poses a low hazard potential and is regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The spillway, with a width of 25 feet, ensures controlled water release during periods of excess flow, maintaining the safety of the surrounding area. With its moderate risk assessment and consistent inspection schedule, Money Hill Pond No. 2 remains a valuable asset for the community while also highlighting the importance of water resource management in a changing climate.

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.
