About Rogers Dam
The primary purpose of Rogers Dam is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Beuford & Larry Rogers (private). It impounds the Tr-brady Creek near Lexington.
The dam stands 34 feet tall and stretches 480 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 92 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 51 square miles. Completed in 1990, the structure is 36 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
At 34 feet, this dam is taller than 80% of dams nationwide.
