Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a length of 2784 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1881 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a spillway width of 103 feet to handle a maximum discharge of 2750 cubic feet per second.
The dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations. The structure is in fair condition, as assessed in April 2021, with a moderate risk level of 3. The dam features slide and uncontrolled outlet gates, contributing to its functionality in managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the area. Although the hazard potential and specific risk management measures are not available, the dam continues to play a crucial role in protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the Mustang Creek WS SCS Site 4 Dam will appreciate its significance in maintaining water quality and mitigating flood risks in the region. The dam's design, construction, and operation by the Natural Resources Conservation Service highlight the collaborative efforts to ensure effective water resource management. With a drainage area of 4.05 square miles and a normal storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, this structure demonstrates the importance of sustainable water infrastructure in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the impacts of extreme weather events.

Dam Data Reference
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.
