Country Club Lake Dam dam
Country Club Lake Dam
Country Club Lake Dam, located in Montgomery County, Texas, is a private dam constructed in 1933 with a primary purpose of serving recreational activities. Designed by Steffek & Van de Wiele, this earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and stretches 1120 feet in length along the TR-W Fork San Jacinto River. With a storage capacity of 264 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres, the dam also features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 225 feet.
The dam, regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), underwent a structural modification in 1984. It has four uncontrolled outlet gates and is inspected every five years to ensure its integrity and functionality. Despite being rated as having a moderate risk level, the hazard potential and condition assessment of the dam are currently not available. The dam's emergency action plan was last revised in 2011, with no additional updates on its preparedness or adherence to guidelines provided.
Country Club Lake Dam is a notable structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts, offering insights into dam engineering, recreational water management, and regulatory oversight. Its presence along the TR-W Fork San Jacinto River provides a unique opportunity for environmental monitoring and risk assessment, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring critical infrastructure for both public safety and water resource management 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 Country Club Lake Dam
Where does the data for Country Club 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.
