Summary
Completed in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 56 feet and spans 1000 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 2064 acre-feet. Despite its primary purpose being flood risk reduction, the dam also serves fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and recreational purposes for the local community.
Regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with state regulations. With a high risk assessment rating of 2, the dam does not have an established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, raising concerns about its hazard potential and emergency response preparedness. Despite these challenges, the dam continues to play a vital role in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is essential to monitor and advocate for the maintenance and improvement of structures like the Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 12f Dam. By staying informed about its condition assessment, risk management measures, and emergency preparedness, we can contribute to the sustainable management of water resources and ensure the safety and resilience of our communities in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
