Hudson Pond No 6 Dam dam
Hudson Pond No 6 Dam
Situated in Panola, Texas, the Hudson Pond No 6 Dam is an Earth dam with a buttress core type, standing at a height of 14 feet and stretching 383 feet in length. Completed in 2007, this dam serves a variety of purposes, including water resource management for the tributary of Murvaul Creek. With a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet and a surface area of 5.5 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and providing irrigation for the surrounding area.
Managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Hudson Pond No 6 Dam features an uncontrolled spillway and an outlet gate for water release. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With a moderate risk assessment rating, efforts are made to monitor and manage any potential hazards associated with the dam, highlighting the importance of effective risk management measures for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
Overall, the Hudson Pond No 6 Dam stands as a vital infrastructure for water management in Texas, showcasing the collaboration between federal agencies and local authorities to safeguard against potential risks and ensure the sustainable use of water resources. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the maintenance and upkeep of dams like Hudson Pond No 6 become increasingly crucial in mitigating the effects of extreme weather events and ensuring the resilience of water systems for future generations.

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 Hudson Pond No 6 Dam
Where does the data for Hudson Pond No 6 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.
