Summary

The dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 537 acre-feet, providing ample water for various recreational activities. The dam's primary purpose is recreation, with a focus on providing a serene environment for visitors to enjoy.

Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is subject to regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam's spillway, which is uncontrolled, has a width of 259 feet to manage excess water flow effectively. Despite being classified as having a moderate risk level, the dam has been assessed as satisfactory, with a condition assessment updated as of April 2021.

Overall, Lakeside Village Estates Lake Dam offers a picturesque setting for outdoor activities, with its earth dam structure and stone core providing a stable foundation. With its proximity to Crooked Creek and a surface area of 28.1 acres, the dam continues to be a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a tranquil escape in Polk County, Texas.

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. 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

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, 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.
