Summary

2, stands as a testament to flood risk reduction efforts in Millersview, Texas. Completed in 1962 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam boasts a height of 35 feet and a length of 3815 feet, providing essential protection for the surrounding area. With a normal storage capacity of 97 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 61978 cubic feet per second, this structure plays a crucial role in managing the flow of the TR-West Fork Mustang Creek.

Managed by the TCEQ and regulated by the state of Texas, Mustang Creek WS SCS Site 5 Dam 2 is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and several outlet gates for efficient water release. Despite its age, this dam is deemed to have a moderate risk level and has not been rated for its condition. Regular state inspections and enforcement ensure the safety and functionality of this key flood control structure. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the site serves as a prime example of effective infrastructure designed to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events in the region.

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.
