Summary
2, located in Tangipahoa, Louisiana, is a private recreational water resource regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. Built in 1950, this earth dam structure stands at 20 feet high and spans 700 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. The pond covers a surface area of 14 acres and is situated along the TR. Little Chappepeela Creek, offering a serene escape for water and climate enthusiasts.
Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Capdeboscq Pond No. 2 undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with safety standards. The uncontrolled spillway, measuring 40 feet in width, serves as a crucial feature for managing water levels during heavy rainfall events. With its moderate risk classification and proximity to the Vicksburg District, this pond provides an important recreational outlet for the local community while maintaining a balanced approach to water resource management. For those interested in the intersection of water resources and climate resilience, Capdeboscq Pond No. 2 offers a fascinating case study in sustainable infrastructure development and environmental stewardship.

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.
