Summary
Constructed in 1967, this Earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet, with a length of 437 feet, and a storage capacity of 97 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this structure is flood risk reduction, serving as a vital component in protecting the surrounding area from potential water hazards.
Managed by the TCEQ and under state regulation, Duck Creek WS SCS Site Ca-2 plays a significant role in safeguarding the local community from water-related risks. Although the hazard potential is not available, the risk assessment indicates a high level of risk, highlighting the importance of effective risk management measures and constant monitoring of the infrastructure's condition. With inspections, enforcement, and permitting in place, this site demonstrates a commitment to ensuring its operational readiness and resilience against potential emergencies.
Despite its remote location and limited information on certain aspects such as drainage area and spillway type, Duck Creek WS SCS Site Ca-2 remains a critical piece of water resource infrastructure in Texas. With Mac Thornberry representing the area in Congress, the site's significance in flood risk reduction underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices and the need to prioritize climate resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
