Summary

The dam, designed by the USDA NRCS, is an earth dam with a height of 35 feet and a length of 1620 feet, providing a storage capacity of 613 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, flood risk reduction, and recreation.

Managed by the TCEQ and regulated by the state of Texas, Clear Fork Trinity River WS SCS Site 29 Dam is in fair condition with a high risk assessment rating. The dam has not had any major modifications since its completion and does not have a spillway. Despite its fair condition, the dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from flooding and providing water storage for various uses. With its location on TR-Willow Creek, the dam is an important asset for water resource management in the region.

Overall, Clear Fork Trinity River WS SCS Site 29 Dam is a key infrastructure project in Parker County, Texas, serving as a vital component for flood risk reduction and water storage. With its multiple purposes and significant storage capacity, the dam plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding area. As a state-regulated structure with a fair condition assessment, continued monitoring and maintenance will be essential to uphold its functionality and enhance its resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
