Summary
Built in 1996 by the USDA NRCS, this structure serves primarily as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, with additional purposes including Grade Stabilization and Recreation. With a dam height of 24 feet and a hydraulic height of 23 feet, Randy Pogue has a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet, offering a surface area of 7 acres for wildlife and recreational activities.
Although classified as having a low hazard potential, Randy Pogue is considered to have a moderate risk level due to its structural condition not being rated. A spillway width of 10 feet helps to manage maximum discharge of 22 cubic feet per second, ensuring the safety and stability of the dam. Despite not having recent inspection records, Randy Pogue remains a vital resource for fish and wildlife conservation in the Bollinger County area, attracting enthusiasts and researchers interested in water resource management and climate adaptation strategies for sustainable development.

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.
