Summary
Completed in 1961, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and stretches 2537 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1822 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-NORTH FORK MUSTANG CREEK, it serves as a critical infrastructure in the region, managed by local government authorities and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
With a drainage area of 4.13 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding community from potential flooding events. Despite its high hazard potential and risk assessment rating of 2 (high), the condition of the dam remains unrated. While lacking a spillway, the dam is equipped with a single outlet gate for operational purposes. As an essential flood risk reduction structure in Texas, the Mustang Creek WS SCS Site 9 Dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Mustang Creek WS SCS Site 9 Dam offers a fascinating case study in flood risk reduction infrastructure. As a key component of the local government's emergency preparedness and response strategy, this earth dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts between federal and state agencies to ensure the safety and well-being of communities in flood-prone areas. With its strategic location and design by the USDA NRCS, the dam serves as a critical asset in mitigating the impact of extreme weather events and preserving the ecological balance of the TR-NORTH FORK MUSTANG CREEK watershed.

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.
