Hunt Lake No 2 Dam dam
Hunt Lake No 2 Dam
Hunt Lake No 2 Dam is a private water resource structure located in Grayson, Texas, completed in 1977. This earth dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. With a height of 14 feet and a length of 1000 feet, the dam has a normal storage capacity of 26 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 78 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Buck Creek, the dam's primary source agency is the state of Texas, with state permitting and inspection in place.
Despite being non-federally owned and regulated, Hunt Lake No 2 Dam has a high risk assessment rating of 2, indicating potential hazards and safety concerns. The dam structure features buttress core types and is designed with no spillway provisions. It is primarily maintained for fire protection purposes and serves as a vital resource for water storage in the region. While the dam's condition assessment is not rated, it is a key element in the local water management infrastructure, ensuring water availability for various uses.
Although lacking specific federal oversight, Hunt Lake No 2 Dam plays a crucial role in water conservation and resource management in the area. With its strategic location and purposeful design, the dam provides essential water storage for fire prevention and livestock use, highlighting the significance of private-owned water structures in maintaining a sustainable water supply in Texas. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the dam's contribution to local water management efforts and its role in enhancing water security 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.
- 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 Hunt Lake No 2 Dam
Where does the data for Hunt Lake No 2 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.
