Tunica Trace Pond Ii dam
Tunica Trace Pond Ii
Tunica Trace Pond II, located in West Feliciana, Louisiana, is a private recreational water resource managed by owner Daniel Brown. Completed in 2012, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 181 acre-feet. With a surface area of 17 acres and a drainage area of 0.24 square miles, the pond offers a serene setting for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating.
Maintained by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Tunica Trace Pond II has a low hazard potential and is currently rated in fair condition. The uncontrolled spillway, with a width of 30 feet, serves as a safety feature to manage excess water during heavy rainfall. The pond's moderate risk assessment indicates a level 3 risk, prompting the need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community.
Overall, Tunica Trace Pond II provides a valuable recreational resource for residents and visitors alike in the beautiful landscape of West Feliciana, Louisiana. As a privately owned water resource, it is essential for stakeholders to continue collaborating with regulatory agencies to uphold safety standards and preserve the ecological integrity of the area. With its peaceful atmosphere and ample storage capacity, the pond remains a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure and relaxation in a natural setting.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Tunica Trace Pond Ii
Where does the data for Tunica Trace Pond Ii come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
