Summary
With a height of 17 feet and a length of 530 feet, this earth dam serves as the primary water source for the camp's lake, providing a storage capacity of 91 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Ten Mile Creek-TR, within the jurisdiction of the city of Glen Rose.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Pathway Youth Camp Lake Dam does not fall under state regulation or inspection. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, offering a serene environment for campers to enjoy various water activities. With an uncontrolled spillway type and no outlet gates, the dam's structural integrity and safety are supported by its design and construction.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts visiting Pathway Youth Camp can appreciate the role of this dam in providing a sustainable water source for recreational use. While the dam is not currently rated for its condition, its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment suggest that proper maintenance and management measures are in place to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and camp-goers.

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.
