Delta Country Club Dam dam
Delta Country Club Dam
The Delta Country Club Dam, located in Delta County, Texas, serves primarily for irrigation purposes and also provides opportunities for recreation. This earth-type dam, completed in 1964, stands at a height of 20 feet and spans a length of 770 feet along the TR-Brushy Creek. With a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
Despite not having a spillway, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate. While the hazard potential of the structure is not available, it is rated as having a high risk level of 2. The condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation. With no emergency action plan in place and no recent inspection data available, the management of this dam poses challenges that need to be addressed to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the Delta Country Club Dam would find its history and design intriguing, as well as the potential risks associated with its operation. As a vital piece of infrastructure for irrigation and recreational purposes, the dam's condition assessment and risk management measures merit closer attention to safeguard the surrounding community and water resources in the area. Further research and monitoring of this dam could provide valuable insights into sustainable water management practices 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Delta Country Club Dam
Where does the data for Delta Country Club Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
