Summary
Managed by the USDA NRCS and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), this earth dam with a height of 26 feet and a length of 1700 feet serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and recreation. With a normal storage capacity of 86 acre-feet and a drainage area of 2.5 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Even though the dam does not have a spillway, it has been rated as having a high risk (2) due to its hazard potential being classified as "Not Available." Despite not having a condition assessment or rated condition, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for the local government and the community. With no associated structures and a single outlet gate, the Mukewater Creek WS SCS Site 1 Dam remains a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the importance of responsible water management practices in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the impact of dams like Mukewater Creek WS SCS Site 1 Dam, it is clear that these structures play a crucial role in flood risk reduction and water storage. With ongoing regulatory oversight by the TCEQ and the USDA NRCS, the dam stands as a symbol of collaboration between state and federal agencies to ensure the safety and resilience of water infrastructure in Coleman, Texas. As the community relies on this earth dam for various purposes, it serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices for the future.

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.
