George Land And Cattle Co. Pond dam
George Land And Cattle Co. Pond
The George Land and Cattle Co. Pond in Caddo, Louisiana, is a privately-owned fish and wildlife pond that also serves as a recreational area. Constructed in 1960, this earth dam structure spans 560 feet in length and stands at a height of 14 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 84 acre-feet. The pond covers a surface area of 12 acres and drains a 0.46 square mile watershed, with a spillway width of 80 feet for uncontrolled discharge.
Managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the George Land and Cattle Co. Pond has a low hazard potential and is in fair condition as of the last inspection in 2017. With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, the pond is subject to regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The location on Paw Paw Bayou provides a natural habitat for fish and wildlife, making it an essential resource for both conservation efforts and outdoor recreation.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will appreciate the unique features of the George Land and Cattle Co. Pond, from its ecological significance as a fish and wildlife habitat to its recreational value for local residents and visitors. This privately-owned pond in Louisiana's Congressional District 04 exemplifies the intersection of human infrastructure with natural ecosystems, showcasing the importance of sustainable water management practices in an ever-changing climate.
Dam data reference
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 George Land And Cattle Co. Pond
Where does the data for George Land And Cattle Co. 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.
