Ne Trib Leon River Ws Scs Site 15 Dam dam
Ne Trib Leon River Ws Scs Site 15 Dam
The Ne Trib Leon River WS SCS Site 15 Dam, located in Erath County, Texas, is a vital structure designed by the USDA NRCS to serve the purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-RESLEY CREEK. Completed in 1964, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and stretches 2058 feet in length, providing a maximum storage capacity of 1339 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 2.73 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks and ensuring water resource sustainability in the region.
Despite its importance, the dam's condition assessment was marked as unsatisfactory in April 2021, highlighting the need for maintenance and potential improvements to ensure its continued functionality. The dam features a spillway width of 72 feet and is managed by local government authorities under the regulatory oversight of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). With a moderate risk assessment rating, it is crucial for stakeholders to prioritize the safety and maintenance of this essential infrastructure to mitigate any potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding communities and water resources.
As a key component in the region's flood risk reduction efforts, the Ne Trib Leon River WS SCS Site 15 Dam serves multiple purposes, including irrigation and recreation, in addition to its primary function. With a history of periodic inspections and an emergency action plan in place, the dam remains a critical asset in managing water resources and protecting against flooding events. Continued investment and maintenance will be essential to ensure the long-term resilience and effectiveness of this important water management infrastructure.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Ne Trib Leon River Ws Scs Site 15 Dam
Where does the data for Ne Trib Leon River Ws Scs Site 15 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
