Summary
Constructed in 1964 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 46 feet and has a length of 920 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 537 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam remains in good condition and has not been rated with a hazard potential.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Clear Creek WS SCS Site 28 Dam is subject to state regulation, periodic inspections, and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity and public safety. While the dam does not currently have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate for controlled water release. The primary purposes of the dam include flood risk reduction, debris control, fire protection, and serving as a stock or small fish pond, highlighting its multi-functional role in water resource management.
With a high risk assessment rating of 2, Clear Creek WS SCS Site 28 Dam underscores the importance of ongoing risk management and emergency preparedness. While specific details on emergency action plans and inundation maps are not available, the dam's strategic location and design contribute to its effectiveness in mitigating flood risks in the region. As a critical infrastructure owned by the local government, this dam serves as a key asset in protecting communities and natural resources from potential water-related hazards.

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.
