Domain Subdivision Pond A dam
Domain Subdivision Pond A
Domain Subdivision Pond A, located in Collin, Texas, is a private water resource structure managed by O'Brien Engineers. This Earth-type dam, completed in 2003, stands at a height of 20 feet and spans a length of 280 feet. With a capacity to store 13 acre-feet of water, this pond serves as a crucial component in the drainage area of the TRIBUTARY SLOAN CREEK, with a maximum discharge capacity of 595 cubic feet per second.
Despite being uncontrolled, Domain Subdivision Pond A boasts a spillway width of 75 feet, ensuring efficient water flow management in case of high levels. The structure covers a surface area of 0.94 acres and plays a vital role in mitigating flood risk in the region. With a moderate risk assessment rating, this pond remains a key asset in the local water resource infrastructure, contributing to environmental sustainability and climate resilience efforts in Collin County.
As a privately-owned facility with no state regulation or permitting requirements, Domain Subdivision Pond A operates independently, serving its intended purpose effectively. With its strategic location and design, this pond exemplifies the intersection of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship, showcasing the importance of water resource management in a changing climate landscape.
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 Domain Subdivision Pond A
Where does the data for Domain Subdivision Pond A 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.
