Summary

Standing at a height of 38 feet and with a length of 1200 feet, this dam holds a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. It is situated on the TR-Denton Creek and falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

Despite being assessed as having a high risk potential, the condition of C Hobson Dunn Dam No 2 is currently not rated. The last inspection of the dam took place in November 2008, and it does not have a spillway. With no associated structures, this dam plays a crucial role in providing irrigation water for the surrounding agricultural areas. Despite lacking certain safety measures, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose efficiently.

While the dam poses a potential risk due to its high hazard classification, there is currently no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. The dam does not have an inundation map prepared, and the risk management measures are not detailed. With the responsibility falling on the private owners, ensuring the safety and maintenance of C Hobson Dunn Dam No 2 remains crucial to prevent any potential hazards and ensure the continued availability of water resources for irrigation in the region.

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.
