Summary

This Earth-type dam, with a height of 22 feet and a length of 560 feet, serves the primary purpose of irrigation along the TR-Brazos River. With a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Seymour Country Club Dam has a spillway width of 120 feet and an uncontrolled spillway type. Despite being classified as having a moderate risk level, the dam's condition remains unrated, presenting a potential area for further assessment and management. With its strategic location and key role in water resource management, the dam serves as a significant asset for maintaining water availability and supporting sustainable agricultural practices in the area.

With its proximity to the TR-Brazos River and alignment with the conservation objectives of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Seymour Country Club Dam stands as a cornerstone in water resource management in Texas. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, understanding the design, purpose, and regulatory oversight of this vital structure sheds light on the intricate network of dams that support irrigation and water supply in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
