Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 6 Dam, located in Ellis County, Texas, stands as a crucial infrastructure designed by the USDA NRCS in 1958 for flood risk reduction along the TR-Waxahachie Creek.
This earth dam with a height of 41 feet and a length of 1385 feet plays a pivotal role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding areas from potential flooding. With a storage capacity of 801 acre-feet, the dam serves its primary purpose effectively while also contributing to normal storage of 127 acre-feet.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 6 Dam undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates for water release, along with a moderate hazard potential rating. Despite not being USACE-owned, the dam's importance in flood risk management and water resource protection cannot be overstated, making it a valuable asset in the region's water infrastructure network.
