Summary
The dam is privately owned and stands at a height of 25 feet, with a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Tavern Creek, the dam covers a surface area of 4 acres within a drainage area of 20 square miles.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Wooldridge Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam is not regulated or inspected by the state, and there is no emergency action plan in place. With its primary purpose being fire protection, the dam also provides opportunities for recreation in the area. Although the dam is relatively small in size, it contributes to the local ecosystem and water resource management in the region.
Enthusiasts interested in water resources and climate in the Iberia area can appreciate the unique features of Wooldridge Lake Dam. While it may not be a major structure in terms of size or regulatory oversight, the dam plays a significant role in local water management and offers recreational opportunities for the community. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding the importance of small dams like Wooldridge Lake Dam becomes increasingly relevant for conservation efforts and sustainable development in the region.

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.
