Summary
The dam, primarily designed for recreation, is an earth-type structure with a height of 23 feet and a hydraulic height of 22 feet. The pond has a storage capacity of 248 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 880 cubic feet per second, with a spillway width of 100 feet. The hazard potential is categorized as low, with a fair condition assessment as of the last inspection in May 2019.
Situated in Caddo County, Louisiana, Glorias Ranch Pond serves as a tributary to Johnson Branch, offering an 18-acre surface area for outdoor activities. Despite being privately owned, the pond falls under state regulation by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place. While the risk assessment deems the pond to have a moderate risk level, the emergency action plan status and inundation maps preparedness are currently unknown.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can explore Glorias Ranch Pond as a unique recreational destination with its tranquil surroundings and potential for outdoor enjoyment. With its earth dam structure and controlled spillway, the pond provides a safe and regulated environment for water-based activities. As a low-hazard facility with a fair condition, it offers a moderate level of risk management measures, making it an intriguing spot for those interested in water resource management and climate resilience.

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.
