Clear Fork Trinity River WS SCS Site 17 Dam, located in Parker County, Texas, stands as a vital structure designed by the USDA NRCS to manage flood risk along the Rankin Branch.
Completed in 1958, this earth dam with a height of 41 feet and a length of 1350 feet serves as a primary flood risk reduction measure. With a storage capacity of 785 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.71 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding communities from potential inundation.
Despite its importance in flood control, the dam lacks a spillway and is categorized as high risk (2) due to its hazard potential being not available. The condition assessment remains unrated, highlighting the need for regular inspections and risk management measures. While the dam's emergency action plan and inundation maps are not readily available, the local government's ownership and oversight ensure compliance with state regulations and enforcement by the TCEQ. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor the Clear Fork Trinity River WS SCS Site 17 Dam, its role in flood risk reduction remains integral to the region's resilience against natural disasters.
