Summary

This earth dam structure, with a height of 16 feet and a length of 640 feet, creates a reservoir with a storage capacity of 128 acre-feet and a surface area of 16 acres. The pond is regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, ensuring proper inspection, enforcement, and permitting to maintain its integrity and safety.

The low hazard potential and fair condition assessment of Young Family Pond make it a relatively safe and well-maintained water resource for the community. The pond is situated near TR - WALLACE LAKE and serves as a habitat for fish and wildlife, contributing to the biodiversity of the area. With a drainage area of 0.07 square miles and a maximum discharge of 4 cubic feet per second, the pond plays a vital role in the local ecosystem and provides a peaceful setting for outdoor activities.

Although the pond was last inspected in 2017 and deemed to be in fair condition, its emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are not currently available. However, with its low hazard potential and consistent inspection schedule, Young Family Pond remains a valuable asset for both conservationists and outdoor enthusiasts in Caddo, Louisiana.

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.
