Summary

Completed in 1945, this earth dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a height of 16 feet and a length of 390 feet. The dam has a significant hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of the last inspection in 2018.

With a normal storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 93 acre-feet, Lake Shreve Estates Dam sits on the TR-Boggy Bayou river/stream and has an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 85 feet. The dam also has a drainage area of 0.68 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 1850 cubic feet per second. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not been modified in recent years, and its emergency action plan status is unclear.

Overall, Lake Shreve Estates Dam serves as a vital recreational resource in the area, providing water storage and flood control benefits. As a privately owned structure regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the dam's key features and risk factors highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam for both water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.

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.
