Summary
The dam stands at a height of 28.7 feet, with a hydraulic height of 25.9 feet and a length of 420 feet, providing a storage capacity of 148 acre-feet. With a surface area of 12.9 acres and draining a 0.17 square mile area, Rogers serves as a vital water resource in the region.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Rogers faces a moderate risk level (3) according to a risk assessment. The dam has not been rated for its condition, but it undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last one conducted in June 2019. The spillway type for Rogers is listed as "Uncontrolled," highlighting the importance of monitoring and maintaining the dam to ensure its safety and effectiveness in managing water resources in the area.
While Rogers currently meets regulatory standards and has not required enforcement actions, its location and structural specifications underscore the importance of ongoing risk management and emergency preparedness measures. With its critical role in water resource management in the region, continued monitoring and assessment of Rogers will be essential to ensure its long-term functionality and resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
