Summary
Owned and regulated by local government authorities, this earth dam stands at a height of 44 feet and spans 1000 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 450 acre-feet, the dam primarily caters to flood risk reduction, while also supporting fire protection, stock watering, and recreational activities in the area.
Managed by the USDA NRCS, the Clear Fork Trinity River WS SCS Site 11 Dam has a surface area of 10.8 acres and a drainage area of 0.95 square miles. Despite being rated as 'Not Available' in terms of hazard potential and 'Not Rated' in condition assessment, the dam's risk assessment is classified as high (2). With no spillway and limited outlet gates, the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are currently unspecified, presenting challenges for effective emergency response and mitigation strategies.
As a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure, the Clear Fork Trinity River WS SCS Site 11 Dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding communities from potential flood events. With its historical significance dating back to the mid-20th century, ongoing assessments and improvements are essential to ensure the dam's continued reliability and resilience in the face of evolving climate patterns and water resource management challenges in the region.

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.
