Summary
Built in 1962, the dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a length of 250 feet, providing a storage capacity of 296 acre-feet. While the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate.
Despite being classified as having a high risk potential, the dam's condition is currently not rated. The lack of available inspection data raises concerns about the safety and maintenance of the structure. With a drainage area of zero and no associated structures, the dam primarily serves the recreational needs of the area but lacks proper regulatory oversight and enforcement measures.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the Hall Lake No 1 Dam may find its history and design intriguing, but its current risk assessment and lack of maintenance data present significant challenges. As a privately owned structure with limited regulatory oversight, the dam raises questions about its long-term sustainability and the potential impact on the surrounding environment. Further investigation and monitoring are necessary to ensure the safety and functionality of this recreational water resource in Texas.

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.
