Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet with a hydraulic height of 26 feet, completed in 1966 with a storage capacity of 476 acre-feet. With a spillway width of 1 foot and a controlled spillway type, this dam has a low hazard potential and is not currently rated for its condition.
Despite its age, SCS-Caney Creek Site-13 remains a crucial infrastructure for flood risk management in the region. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving as a vital structure to protect the surrounding area from potential water-related disasters. Although it has not been inspected since 1980, the dam's risk assessment is marked as very high, emphasizing the importance of frequent evaluations and maintenance to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the community.
The Fort Worth District oversees SCS-Caney Creek Site-13, highlighting the collaborative effort between federal and state agencies in managing water resources and mitigating climate-related risks. With its strategic location and design features, this dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the local environment and infrastructure from the impacts of extreme weather events, showcasing the significance of effective water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
