Clear Fork Trinity River WS SCS Site 21 Dam, located in Parker County, Texas, was completed in 1956 by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Hays Branch.
This earth dam stands at a height of 50 feet with a length of 830 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1,500 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 2.75 square miles. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, and it lacks a spillway, outlet gates, and locks, posing a high risk potential.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the TCEQ, Clear Fork Trinity River WS SCS Site 21 Dam is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. While the dam's hazard potential is not available and its risk assessment is deemed high, no emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps have been prepared. With a lack of recent inspection data and potential risk management measures, stakeholders and water resource enthusiasts may find interest in monitoring the dam's condition and safety protocols to ensure the protection of downstream communities and ecosystems along the Clear Fork Trinity River.
