Summary
The earth dam, with a height of 25 feet, impounds the waters of TR Charrette Creek, providing a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, offering a surface area of 7 acres for boating, fishing, and other water activities.
Despite its recreational appeal, Rogers Lake Dam has a high hazard potential and has not been inspected since December 1980. The condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," raising concerns about the dam's safety and structural integrity. With no emergency action plan in place and outdated inspection data, there is a need for further assessment and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and water resources.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to stay informed about the status of dams like Rogers Lake Dam to advocate for proper maintenance and safety measures. With its location in a high-risk area and lack of recent inspections, there is a pressing need for action to prevent potential hazards and protect the environment and those who enjoy the recreational opportunities provided by the dam.

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.
