Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and designated as a state-regulated structure, Green Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam has not been rated for condition assessment but is considered to have a high risk level. Despite this, the dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate. While the hazard potential is not available, the dam's construction type is listed as buttress earth, with unlisted/unknown foundations. This site serves as a vital asset for water resource management in the region, highlighting the importance of sustainable infrastructure for climate resilience.
As part of the Fort Worth District, this dam is a crucial component of the local water management system, ensuring the safety and security of the surrounding community. With no documented inspection frequency or emergency action plan in place, there is room for improvement in the monitoring and maintenance of this critical infrastructure. Given its age and risk level, continued attention and investment in the upkeep of Green Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam are essential for safeguarding water resources and mitigating the impacts of climate change in the area.
