Summary

Hermon, Louisiana, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS for fish and wildlife purposes. Completed in 2001, this earth dam stands at 31.4 feet tall and has a storage capacity of 33 acre-feet, with a surface area of 1.7 acres. The dam's primary purpose is to serve as a fire protection, stock, or small fish pond, in addition to providing recreational opportunities for the local community.

Managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Nancy Albury Pond No 1 has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in September 2017. The spillway, with a width of 85 feet, is uncontrolled, allowing for a maximum discharge of 193 cubic feet per second. The structure also features stone core types and soil foundations to support its operations effectively. With a moderate risk assessment rating, this pond serves as an important water resource for the area while supporting various ecological and recreational activities.

Overall, Nancy Albury Pond No 1 exemplifies the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience. As a vital part of the local ecosystem, this structure provides valuable habitat for fish and wildlife, as well as recreational opportunities for the community. With proper regulation and inspection by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, this pond continues to fulfill its purpose effectively while maintaining a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition for all stakeholders involved in its management and upkeep.

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. 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

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, 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.
