Summary

Managed by a private owner, this earth dam on Cedar Creek serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a tranquil oasis for water enthusiasts in the region. With a height of 29 feet and a length of 1786 feet, the dam provides a storage capacity of 4286 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 290 acres.

Over the years, Greenville Club Lake Dam has undergone modifications in 1946, 2006 for hydraulic and structural improvements, ensuring its continued safety and functionality. The dam's condition is assessed as fair, with a moderate hazard potential. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulates and inspects the dam regularly, affirming its adherence to state standards. With a spillway width of 250 feet and four uncontrolled outlet gates, the dam is equipped to manage water flow effectively in case of emergencies.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the strategic design and maintenance of Greenville Club Lake Dam, highlighting its significant role in providing recreational opportunities while safeguarding the surrounding area from potential risks. As a key feature on Cedar Creek, this dam reflects a harmonious blend of nature and infrastructure, showcasing the importance of responsible water management practices in ensuring sustainable development for future generations.

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. 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

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, 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.
