Summary
Designed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam with a height of 34 feet and a length of 1060 feet serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and flood risk reduction. With a normal storage capacity of 49 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.83 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
State-regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Pilot Grove Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam is inspected, permitted, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with safety standards. Despite having no spillway, the dam has an outlet gate to manage water flow. With a risk assessment rating of 'High (2)', the dam's hazard potential is not available, but it remains a key infrastructure for protecting the local community from potential flooding events. As part of the Tulsa District under the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam contributes to water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the area.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Pilot Grove Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam offers a fascinating case study in dam construction and management. With its unique design and multi-purpose functionality, the dam showcases the importance of sustainable water infrastructure for flood risk reduction and ecosystem conservation. As efforts continue to enhance the dam's safety measures and risk management strategies, it remains a crucial component of the region's water resource management system, providing valuable insights into sustainable water infrastructure development and climate adaptation practices.

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.
