Summary

This earth dam, with a height of 10 feet and a length of 1600 feet, sits on White Oak Creek and has a storage capacity of 2500 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and has state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement.

The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates for water release. While the hazard potential and condition assessment are not available, the risk assessment is moderate. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in May 1988, with no recent data on its condition assessment. Fiberboard Lake Dam is managed by a private entity and is under state regulation, ensuring its safety and compliance with environmental standards.

Despite its relatively small surface area of 535 acres and drainage area of 12.7 square miles, Fiberboard Lake Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and recreation in the region. Its strategic location and design make it a vital infrastructure for the community, providing opportunities for outdoor activities and water conservation.

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.
