Pine Creek Ws Scs Site 9 A Dam dam
Pine Creek Ws Scs Site 9 A Dam
Pine Creek WS SCS Site 9 A Dam is a vital infrastructure located in Lamar County, Texas, designed by the USDA NRCS to serve the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Completed in 1968, this Earth type dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a length of 1825 feet, with a storage capacity of 3524 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Crooked Creek and is under the regulatory oversight of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), ensuring state permitting, inspection, and enforcement to uphold safety standards.
With a high risk assessment rating, Pine Creek WS SCS Site 9 A Dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events. Although the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate for operational control. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in mitigating flood hazards. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, indicating the importance of developing comprehensive emergency response strategies for this critical infrastructure.
Overall, Pine Creek WS SCS Site 9 A Dam stands as a key flood risk reduction structure in Texas, underscoring the importance of proactive management and maintenance to safeguard the community and the environment. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the dam's condition, regulatory oversight, and emergency preparedness measures is essential for promoting resilience and sustainability in the face of changing weather patterns and potential hazards.

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 Pine Creek Ws Scs Site 9 A Dam
Where does the data for Pine Creek Ws Scs Site 9 A 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.
