City Of Oak Grove Settlement Pond Wwtp dam
City Of Oak Grove Settlement Pond Wwtp
City of Oak Grove Settlement Pond Wwtp is a private water treatment facility located in Oak Grove, Louisiana, managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The facility serves as a crucial source of water supply in the region, with a primary purpose of water supply. The dam at the facility is an earth dam type with a hydraulic height of 8 feet and a structural height of 8 feet, providing a storage capacity of 147 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 18.4 acres.
Despite its importance in water resource management, the City of Oak Grove Settlement Pond Wwtp is facing challenges in terms of its condition assessment, which has been rated as poor during the last inspection in January 2012. The hazard potential is considered low, but the risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. The facility has not been modified in recent years, and there is a need for improved risk management measures to ensure the safety and efficiency of its operations. Although the facility has a designated emergency action plan, it is crucial to update and adhere to guidelines to meet safety standards in case of emergencies.
City of Oak Grove Settlement Pond Wwtp plays a vital role in providing water supply to the surrounding area, but it requires attention and investment to maintain its infrastructure and address the current condition assessment concerns. With a low hazard potential but a moderate risk assessment, there is a need for proactive risk management measures to ensure the safety and functionality of the facility. By addressing these challenges and updating emergency action plans, City of Oak Grove Settlement Pond Wwtp can continue to support the water resource needs of the community effectively.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About City Of Oak Grove Settlement Pond Wwtp
Where does the data for City Of Oak Grove Settlement Pond Wwtp come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
