Tigner Farms Pond dam
Tigner Farms Pond
Tigner Farms Pond, located in Claiborne, Louisiana, is a privately owned water resource nestled in a picturesque setting that offers recreational opportunities for enthusiasts. Built in 1952 by designer HC MCCALMAN, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 14 feet and spans 665 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 266 acre-feet and a surface area of 38 acres, the pond provides a tranquil escape for visitors to enjoy activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife watching.
The dam's spillway, categorized as Uncontrolled, has a width of 90 feet to manage potential overflow. Despite its fair condition assessment in 2016, Tigner Farms Pond poses a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) oversees the regulatory aspects of the pond, ensuring proper inspection, permitting, and enforcement are in place. With its idyllic location along TR-MIDDLE FORK BAYOU D ARBONNE, Tigner Farms Pond serves as a valuable water resource for the community while promoting environmental stewardship and climate resilience.
As a well-maintained recreational water feature in Congressional District 04, Louisiana, Tigner Farms Pond not only enhances the local landscape but also contributes to water conservation efforts. The pond's strategic location, efficient design, and low-risk profile make it an ideal destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to connect with nature and engage in sustainable outdoor activities. With its regulated state jurisdiction, consistent inspections, and commitment to safety, Tigner Farms Pond stands as a shining example of responsible water management practices in the region, embodying the harmonious coexistence of human recreation and environmental preservation.

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 Tigner Farms Pond
Where does the data for Tigner Farms Pond 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.
