Summary
This dam, standing at 30 feet in height with a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet, is situated on a tributary of Boggy Bayou. Despite its relatively low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
With a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge of 360 cubic feet per second, Saddler Pond No 3 is equipped to handle potential overflow events. The dam's hydraulic height of 23 feet and structural height of 30 feet underscore its importance in managing water resources in the area. Its location in the Fort Worth District and Congressional District 04, Louisiana, highlights its significance in the regional water supply infrastructure.
Although last inspected in April 2019, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures require further evaluation. As an essential component of the water supply system in the region, ongoing monitoring and maintenance of Saddler Pond No 3 are crucial to ensuring its continued effectiveness in water resource management and climate resilience 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.
