Sabine Mining 87-B12-006-Dam dam
Sabine Mining 87-B12-006-Dam
Sabine Mining 87-B12-006-Dam, located in Harrison, Texas, was completed in 1988 by SABINE MINING CO for the primary purpose of storing tailings. This Earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet with a length of 500 feet, providing a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-HATLEY CREEK, the dam has a hydraulic height matching its structural height, serving as a critical structure for managing water resources in the area.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Sabine Mining 87-B12-006-Dam poses a high risk (2) according to the risk assessment. The dam, with a hazard potential marked as "Not Available" and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," presents potential challenges in terms of safety and maintenance. With no spillway and limited information on its drainage area and discharge capacity, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan require further attention to ensure the safety and security of the surrounding community and water resources.
Overall, Sabine Mining 87-B12-006-Dam stands as an essential structure for tailings storage in Texas, highlighting the intersection of water resource management and mining activities. With a critical need for risk assessment and management, this dam serves as a focal point for climate and water resource enthusiasts to monitor and ensure the safety and sustainability of the surrounding environment.
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 Sabine Mining 87-B12-006-Dam
Where does the data for Sabine Mining 87-B12-006-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.
