Summary
With a capacity of 174 acre-feet, the reservoir serves as a vital source of water for the surrounding area, storing a normal volume of 116 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 11.6 acres. The dam, primarily constructed of earth and buttress stone, stands at a height of 15 feet and has a hydraulic height of 10 feet.
Managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD), the reservoir is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement to ensure its safe operation. While the hazard potential is rated as low and the condition assessment is considered fair, the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level. Despite these factors, the reservoir remains a crucial resource for water supply in the region, with a drainage area of 0.02 square miles and a connection to the TR-Cypress Bayou.
Overall, Heaberlin Reservoir represents a significant infrastructure project that plays a key role in water resource management in Louisiana. Its completion in 2017 marked a milestone in providing a reliable water supply to the area. With its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the reservoir continues to contribute to the region's water security while being subject to regular inspections and state regulatory oversight to ensure its continued safe operation.

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.
