Summary

1, is a crucial structure in Millersview, Texas, designed by USDA NRCS to address flood risk reduction along the West Fork Mustang Creek. Completed in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and spans a length of 4006 feet, with a storage capacity of 2121 acre-feet. It serves as a vital component in safeguarding the local community from potential flooding events, with a spillway width of 200 feet to manage maximum discharges of up to 61978 cubic feet per second.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Mustang Creek WS SCS Site 5 Dam 1 has a moderate hazard potential rating and is currently in a not-rated condition. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this structure plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from the impacts of extreme weather events. Despite its age, the dam remains a key asset in the region's water resource management, reflecting the ongoing efforts to ensure its structural integrity and operational effectiveness for the community's safety and well-being.

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.
