Summary
The dam is primarily owned and regulated by the local government with oversight from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Standing at a height of 31 feet and a length of 1950 feet, the earth dam with buttress core serves a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding.
With a storage capacity of 1584 acre-feet and a normal storage of 101 acre-feet, the Pilot Grove Creek WS SCS Site 62 Dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the region from excess water during heavy rainfall events. The dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates for efficient water release when necessary. Despite being assessed as in fair condition as of April 2018, the dam has undergone structural modifications in 2002 and 2010 to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction.
As a key component of water resource management in the area, the Pilot Grove Creek WS SCS Site 62 Dam not only provides flood protection but also contributes to the overall ecological health of the region. Regular inspections and maintenance help to uphold its functionality, ensuring that it continues to serve its purpose effectively for years to come. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam represents a critical piece of infrastructure that plays a significant role in safeguarding communities and the environment from the impacts of extreme weather events.

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.
