Summary
Constructed in 1963 by USDA NRCS, this earth dam with a height of 40 feet and a length of 1645 feet serves to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 228 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 2305 acre-feet, providing essential water resource management for the region.
Managed by the TCEQ and located within the jurisdiction of Texas, the Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 74 Dam also boasts an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 180 feet. Despite its moderate hazard potential, the dam's condition is currently not rated, and there is no available emergency action plan in place. The overall risk assessment for the dam is identified as moderate, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction and water resource management.
Furthermore, the dam's association with the Natural Resources Conservation Service underscores a commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible water resource practices. With a focus on maintaining public safety and minimizing flood risks, the Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 74 Dam serves as a vital asset in the region's efforts to adapt to the impacts of climate change and ensure the long-term resilience of its water infrastructure.

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.
