Summary
This earth dam structure stands at a height of 19 feet with a length of 1400 feet, providing a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet on its 2.8-acre surface area. The dam is regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, ensuring state-mandated inspections, permitting, and enforcement to maintain its fair condition and low hazard potential.
The dam serves a primary purpose of water supply, supporting local water resource management in Caddo County under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District. Although the pond's normal storage remains at zero, its maximum storage capacity provides a reliable source for water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates alike. With state-regulated operations and inspections, Berry 27 Frac Pond exemplifies responsible infrastructure development for sustainable water management in the region.
As a vital component of the water supply infrastructure in Congressional District 04, Louisiana, Berry 27 Frac Pond plays a crucial role in supporting water resource sustainability and resilience. Its strategic location and design incorporating buttress and stone core types with a soil foundation ensure its structural integrity. By meeting state regulatory standards and undergoing regular inspections, the pond underscores the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness in safeguarding water resources for present and future generations.

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.
