Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 35 feet and a length of 1518 feet, serves as a critical component in managing water flow in the region. With a storage capacity of 942 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the local community against potential flooding events.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Caney Creek Dam has undergone inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity and operational effectiveness. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition remains unrated, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring and risk management strategies. With no spillway and limited outlet gates, the dam's design emphasizes flood control as its primary purpose, reflecting its importance in mitigating water-related risks in the area.
As a part of the Fort Worth District, the Caney Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the region. With its strategic location and design parameters, the dam plays a significant role in protecting the community from potential flood events while also highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource practices and climate resilience efforts in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
