Summary
Standing at a height of 42 feet and stretching 900 feet in length, the dam has a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. Despite being privately owned, the state of Texas regulates the dam with regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. The dam is situated on the TR-Leon River and is managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
With a high hazard potential rating and a risk assessment of 2 out of 5, Rodgers Dam faces significant challenges in terms of risk management. However, the condition assessment of the dam is currently not rated, indicating a need for further evaluation and potential maintenance. The dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate. Despite its age, the dam has not undergone any significant modifications over the years, raising concerns about its ability to withstand potential emergencies.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Rodgers Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure and risk management. As a privately owned structure with a critical irrigation purpose, the dam's condition and regulatory oversight raise important questions about its long-term sustainability and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions. Further research and monitoring of Rodgers Dam are essential to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the continued effectiveness of its irrigation functions.

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.
