Upper East Fk Laterals Ws Scs Site 3c Dam dam
Upper East Fk Laterals Ws Scs Site 3c Dam
The Upper East Fk Laterals WS SCS Site 3c Dam, located in Rockwall, Texas, serves as a crucial flood risk reduction structure along the TR-Camp Creek. Built in 1959 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and spans a length of 1049 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 483 acre-feet. The dam also provides additional benefits such as fire protection, stock watering, and recreational opportunities.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is inspected every five years and has been assessed to be in fair condition. With a spillway width of 108 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 2 cubic feet per second, the dam is designed to handle moderate flood risks. The emergency action plan for the dam is currently not available, but the risk management measures are in place to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
Overall, the Upper East Fk Laterals WS SCS Site 3c Dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding areas from flooding while also providing various other benefits to the community. With its strategic location and efficient design, this dam stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.
Plan around the weather

About Upper East Fk Laterals Ws Scs Site 3c Dam
Where does the data for Upper East Fk Laterals Ws Scs Site 3c Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
