Summary
Built in 1954 with a primary purpose of recreation, this private-owned earth dam on TR Pintlalla Creek offers a serene escape in the bustling city of Beulah Church. With a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 15 feet, the dam boasts a storage capacity of 105 acre-feet, providing ample opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy water-based activities.
Despite its low hazard potential and not yet rated condition assessment, the Lassiter dam serves as a valuable asset to the community, offering a tranquil oasis for residents and visitors alike. With a maximum discharge capacity of 614 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and ensuring the safety of downstream areas. As climate change continues to impact water resources across the globe, the Lassiter dam stands as a resilient structure, ready to adapt and withstand the challenges posed by a changing climate.
As we strive to protect and preserve our precious water resources, the Lassiter dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices. With its recreational amenities and strategic location on TR Pintlalla Creek, this dam not only enhances the quality of life for local residents but also highlights the interconnectedness of water resources and climate. By embracing innovative solutions and fostering a sense of stewardship towards our natural environment, we can ensure that future generations will continue to benefit from the beauty and functionality of structures like the Lassiter dam.

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.
