Summary

With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this earth dam stands at a height of 84 feet and a length of 1900 feet, completed in 1963. It has a storage capacity of 6334 acre-feet, serving various purposes such as fire protection, irrigation, and recreation in addition to flood control.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 12 Dam plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and protection of the surrounding area. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam is currently not rated for its condition assessment. It lacks a spillway and inundation maps, highlighting the need for further risk assessment and management measures to address potential hazards and ensure the dam's continued effectiveness in flood control.

As an essential part of the water resource infrastructure in Texas, Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 12 Dam stands as a testament to the collaboration between federal and state agencies in safeguarding communities from the impacts of flooding. With its rich history and significant storage capacity, this dam serves as a critical asset for flood control and various other water-related activities, emphasizing the importance of ongoing maintenance and monitoring to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the surrounding area.

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. 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

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, 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.
