Rogers Lake Number 3 Dam dam
Rogers Lake Number 3 Dam
Rogers Lake Number 3 Dam, located in Stone, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure primarily used for recreational purposes. The dam is classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type, standing at a height of 12 feet and providing a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. While the dam is uncontrolled, its hazard potential is rated as low, with a moderate risk assessment.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite not having a condition rating, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk management measures. With its picturesque location and recreational opportunities, Rogers Lake Number 3 Dam serves as a valuable resource for water enthusiasts and climate advocates in the region.
As an integral part of the local landscape, Rogers Lake Number 3 Dam contributes to the water management efforts in Stone, Mississippi, offering both recreational benefits and potential risks. With its moderate risk level and low hazard potential, the dam underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring such infrastructure to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the preservation of water resources. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the complexities of dam management and risk assessment at sites like Rogers Lake Number 3 Dam is crucial for promoting sustainable practices and safeguarding our natural environment.
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 Rogers Lake Number 3 Dam
Where does the data for Rogers Lake Number 3 Dam 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.
