Summary
Built in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 3045 feet across Camp Creek. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this dam also serves various other purposes such as fire protection, stock, small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and recreation.
The dam has a storage capacity of 1740 acre-feet and is equipped with slide and uncontrolled outlet gates. Its spillway, with a width of 291 feet, is of the uncontrolled type. The dam's condition is assessed as fair, with a moderate risk level. Regular inspections, last conducted in April 2021, ensure its safety and operational efficiency. The hazard potential is not available, and the dam poses a moderate risk level with a DSAC assigned date pending.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Home Creek WS SCS Site 22 Dam presents an intriguing case study of a multi-purpose earth dam designed to mitigate flood risks in the region. Its strategic location in WHON, Texas, and the involvement of various agencies in its construction, maintenance, and regulation make it a noteworthy example of collaborative water resource management. The dam's impact on the local ecosystem, water supply, and recreational opportunities adds to its significance in the realm of sustainable water infrastructure.

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.
