Summary

Completed in 1971, this private-owned dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a tranquil spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the surrounding beauty. Situated on the TR-Village Creek, the dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet, providing a haven for outdoor activities in the area.

Although the dam has not been rated for its condition, it is regulated and inspected by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. Despite not having a spillway, the dam's hazard potential is considered not available, and it poses a risk level of 2, categorized as high. While the dam has not undergone significant modifications over the years, it remains an essential structure for water management in Tarrant County, Texas.

With its picturesque location and recreational purpose, Millbrook Addition Dam serves as a vital asset for the community, offering a tranquil retreat for residents and visitors alike. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the management and maintenance of dams like Millbrook Addition Dam are crucial for sustaining the environment and ensuring the safety of those who enjoy its natural beauty.

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.
