Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 53 feet and spans a length of 1050 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 436 acre-feet and a normal storage of 28 acre-feet. Despite its high risk assessment rating of 2, the dam is currently deemed to be in "Not Rated" condition, with no available hazard potential information.
Owned by the local government and regulated by the TCEQ, Clear Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam plays a crucial role in controlling debris, providing fire protection, and supporting various agricultural activities in the area. While lacking a spillway, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate and is inspected, permitted, and enforced by the state. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this dam remains a key component in managing water resources in the region.
As a significant infrastructure project in the Tulsa District, Clear Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam stands as a testament to the importance of proper water resource management and climate resilience efforts. With its strategic location and design, this dam continues to play a critical role in safeguarding the community against potential flooding events and ensuring the sustainable use of water resources for future generations.

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.
