This earth dam, completed in 1959, stands at a height of 27 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 356 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 36 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres, Rogers Ds plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the Washita County area, specifically along the TR-Oak Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential, Rogers Ds is classified as having a very high risk due to its condition being unrated. With a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, the dam has not been inspected since August 2006 and is due for inspection every 5 years. This risk assessment underscores the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this vital water resource infrastructure. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the proper management of dams like Rogers Ds is essential for mitigating risks and ensuring sustainable water management practices for the future.
