Love And Rodgers Dam No 3 dam
Love And Rodgers Dam No 3
Love and Rodgers Dam No 3, located in Eastland, Texas, was completed in 1969 and serves as a vital irrigation resource in the area. This private earth dam, with a height of 18 feet and a length of 600 feet, has a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and is primarily used for agricultural purposes. Despite being non-regulated by the state, the dam has undergone inspections and is in a condition that is not rated, presenting a high risk level.
The dam, situated on the TR-SALT BRANCH river or stream, lacks a spillway and features one outlet gate. With no associated structures and a hazard potential that is not available, Love and Rodgers Dam No 3 continues to play a crucial role in supporting irrigation activities in the region. The risk assessment for this dam is classified as high, indicating the importance of implementing proper risk management measures to ensure the safety and stability of the structure in the face of potential emergencies.
While the dam may not be under federal ownership or funding, its significance in providing water resources for irrigation cannot be understated. With the potential for high-risk situations, it is essential for the local community and relevant authorities to stay vigilant and prepared to handle any emergencies that may arise at Love and Rodgers Dam No 3.
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 Love And Rodgers Dam No 3
Where does the data for Love And Rodgers Dam No 3 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 Not Available 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.
