Summary

Completed in 1922, this earth dam stands at a height of 14.8 feet and has a hydraulic height of 24 feet. It impounds Jeter Creek, creating a surface area of 58 acres and a storage capacity of 844 acre-feet.

Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Lower Club Lake Dam has a fair condition assessment as of February 2015. With an uncontrolled spillway and one outlet gate, the dam is inspected every five years to ensure its safety. While the hazard potential is not available, the risk assessment is moderate, indicating a level 3 risk. The dam is deemed to be in a moderate risk category, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any potential hazards.

Lower Club Lake Dam is an integral part of the local ecosystem and provides valuable recreational opportunities for the community. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and management of such structures become increasingly crucial. With regulatory oversight and regular inspections in place, Lower Club Lake Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
