Summary

This earth dam stands at 35 feet in height and stretches 2400 feet in length, offering a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet. The pond covers an area of 13 acres and serves a drainage area of 0.02 square miles.

Managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Pullig Frac Pond has been deemed to have low hazard potential and fair condition as of the last inspection in October 2016. With regular inspections occurring every five years, this earth dam ensures the safety and reliability of its water supply infrastructure. While the dam does not have a spillway or outlet gates, it remains a critical resource for water supply in the region.

Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the area will appreciate the essential role that Pullig Frac Pond plays in providing water supply to the community. As a regulated and inspected structure in Louisiana, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions. Its strategic location and design ensure a reliable source of water for the surrounding area, highlighting the intersection of water resource management and environmental stewardship.

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.
