Summary
This private-owned Earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 66 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the tranquil TR-Jim Bayou, offering visitors a serene setting for various recreational activities.
Despite being categorized as having a high risk potential, the dam is not rated for its condition assessment. With no spillway and a single outlet gate, the structure is designed to manage water levels for the lake. The surrounding area covers 11 acres of surface water, creating a small but picturesque lake for visitors to enjoy. While the dam is not regulated by the state, it undergoes regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality for recreational use.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hall Lake No 2 Dam presents an intriguing case study of a privately-owned dam in Texas. With its unique design and risk assessment, the dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proper infrastructure management in maintaining safe and sustainable water resources. Visitors to the area can appreciate the beauty of the dam and its surroundings while also recognizing the need for responsible stewardship of our natural resources.

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.
