Duggins Lake Dam dam
Duggins Lake Dam
Duggins Lake Dam, located in Johnson County, Texas, was completed in 2004 and serves as a vital structure for water resource management in the area. The dam, with a height of 30 feet and a length of 660 feet, plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the TR Statum Branch, providing storage capacity of 360 acre-feet. Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, the dam is equipped with state permitting and inspection mechanisms to ensure its safety and functionality.
Designed by VELVIN & WEEKS INC, Duggins Lake Dam is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type, featuring an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's hazard potential is not available, and its condition is currently not rated. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it undergoes regular inspections every five years to monitor its structural integrity and overall performance.
Overall, Duggins Lake Dam stands as a key infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience in Johnson County, Texas. Its strategic location and design contribute to the effective regulation of water flow and storage capacity, ensuring the protection of surrounding communities from potential flooding events. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of dams like Duggins Lake Dam is crucial in addressing the challenges of water management and climate adaptation 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 Duggins Lake Dam
Where does the data for Duggins Lake 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.
