Summary
Built in 1970 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam with a buttress core type reaches a height of 34 feet and spans 1900 feet along the TR-ARNOLD CREEK. With a storage capacity of 537 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.13 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing the risk of flooding in the area.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 87 feet and outlet gates consisting of a slide (sluice gate) and two uncontrolled gates. Despite being in fair condition as of the last assessment in April 2018, the dam is inspected every five years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With a moderate risk rating and state regulation by the TCEQ, the Pilot Grove Creek WS SCS Site 60 Dam continues to serve as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region.
As a significant structure in the Fort Worth District, this dam not only helps in flood risk reduction but also contributes to overall water resource management in Texas. Its strategic location and efficient design make it a key asset in safeguarding the surrounding areas from potential inundation events. With ongoing inspections and regulatory oversight, the Pilot Grove Creek WS SCS Site 60 Dam remains a pivotal component in the region's water infrastructure, ensuring the safety and well-being of local communities and ecosystems.

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.
