Summary
The dam, designed by Collis Consulting Co, serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type. It has a storage capacity of 198 acre-feet and is situated on the TR-Crosstimber Creek.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Wholecattle Feeders Dam B poses a high risk level (2) according to the data provided. Although the dam has not been inspected since October 1989 and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to recognize the potential hazards associated with this structure and advocate for regular inspection and maintenance to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
As a significant feature in the Fort Worth District, Wholecattle Feeders Dam B serves as a reminder of the importance of proper dam management and the need for proactive risk assessment and mitigation measures. With its unknown hazard potential and condition, there is a pressing need for further evaluation and potentially the development of an Emergency Action Plan to address any safety concerns and provide a framework for response in case of emergencies.

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.
