Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 17 feet and a hydraulic height of 11 feet, serves the primary purpose of a Fish and Wildlife Pond. It has a storage capacity of 315 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 204 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 37 acres.
Despite being classified as having low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam is situated on TR-Wallace Lake and has a drainage area of 0.5 square miles. With a controlled spillway type that has a width of 5 feet, the structure was last inspected in September 2019 and is mandated for inspections every 5 years. The risk assessment for Fox Creek Farms Dam indicates a very high risk level, warranting attention to risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and inhabitants.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the Caddo Parish area would find Fox Creek Farms Dam a point of interest due to its significance in providing water for fish and wildlife. Its unique design, purpose, and risk assessment highlight the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure a sustainable environment for both wildlife and residents alike.

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.
