Summary
The dam, primarily made of earth with buttress and stone core types, stands at a height of 12 feet and has a hydraulic height of 9 feet, providing a storage capacity of 152 acre-feet. With a normal storage level of 114 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 20 cubic feet per second, this reservoir plays a crucial role in meeting the water supply needs of the surrounding area.
The reservoir covers a surface area of 16.9 acres and is regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. Despite being categorized as having low hazard potential, the dam is regularly inspected to ensure its fair condition and compliance with safety standards. With an uncontrolled spillway type and a moderate risk assessment rating, the reservoir is equipped with needle outlet gates to manage water levels effectively. Overall, Sky-Lin Farms II Reservoir serves as a vital resource for water storage and supply in the region, contributing to the management of water resources and climate resilience in the area.
The Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers oversees the Sky-Lin Farms II Reservoir, which falls under Congressional District 04 in Louisiana. The dam's construction and operation are privately funded, with the primary purpose of water supply. The reservoir's association with an unnamed creek and its drainage area of 0.18 square kilometers highlight its importance in capturing and storing water for various uses. As climate change impacts water availability, reservoirs like Sky-Lin Farms II play a crucial role in ensuring a sustainable water supply for the community, demonstrating the intersection of water resource management and climate adaptation efforts.

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.
