Wittliff Bland Gss dam
Wittliff Bland Gss
Wittliff Bland Gss, located in Williamson County, Texas, is a privately owned earthen dam designed by USDA NRCS and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Completed in 1967, this dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet. It serves as a crucial structure along the TR-Mustang Creek, providing flood control and water resource management for the surrounding area.
Despite its importance, Wittliff Bland Gss has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its hazard potential is listed as not available. The risk assessment for this dam is considered high, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and effectiveness in managing water resources and mitigating potential risks. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, it is essential that proper risk management measures are implemented to safeguard the surrounding community and environment.
With its primary purpose listed as 'Other', Wittliff Bland Gss plays a significant role in water resource management and climate resilience in the region. As climate change continues to impact weather patterns and intensify extreme events, the importance of maintaining and upgrading infrastructure like this dam becomes increasingly critical. By staying informed and engaged with the regulatory agencies overseeing its operation, stakeholders can work together to ensure the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of Wittliff Bland Gss in safeguarding the community against flooding and supporting water security for years to come.

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 Wittliff Bland Gss
Where does the data for Wittliff Bland Gss 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.
