Summary
This dam, built for purposes other than flood control or water supply, holds a maximum storage capacity of 12 acre-feet with a normal storage capacity of 11 acre-feet. The spillway type for this dam is uncontrolled with a width of 29 feet, and it has three uncontrolled outlet gates.
Although Rodgers Lake Dam is not regulated by the state, it is under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, with a hazard potential that is not available. The condition assessment for the dam is currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in March 2015. Despite the lack of recent data on the dam's condition, its operational status and emergency preparedness measures remain undisclosed.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Rodgers Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study of a smaller-scale dam with unique design features and limited regulatory oversight. The dam's location in the heart of Texas highlights the importance of monitoring and maintaining infrastructure to ensure the safety and reliability of water resources in the region. As discussions around climate change and water management continue to evolve, understanding the intricacies of dams like Rodgers Lake Dam can offer valuable insights into the intersection of engineering, environmental stewardship, and public safety.

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.
