Mdm Grazing Assn Dam dam
Mdm Grazing Assn Dam
Mdm Grazing Assn Dam, located in Coryell, Texas, is a privately owned water supply dam designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1969. With a height of 21 feet and a length of 670 feet, this earth dam serves the primary purpose of water supply, providing a storage capacity of 119 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Leon River, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, especially in times of water scarcity.
Despite not being state-regulated, Mdm Grazing Assn Dam has a high risk assessment level of 2 due to its conditions not being rated and the hazard potential not being available. This raises concerns about the safety and maintenance of the dam, highlighting the need for regular inspections and potential risk management measures. Although the dam does not have a spillway and is not equipped with locks, it serves as a vital infrastructure for water supply in the area.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of dams like Mdm Grazing Assn Dam in sustaining water supply is essential. By recognizing the role of such structures in managing water resources and mitigating risks, we can advocate for proper maintenance and inspection protocols to ensure the safety and efficiency of these critical water supply systems.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Mdm Grazing Assn Dam
Where does the data for Mdm Grazing Assn Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
