Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 25 feet and a length of 3000 feet, provides a storage capacity of 2700 acre-feet, helping to mitigate potential flooding in the area. With its primary purpose being flood risk reduction, the dam also offers additional benefits such as fire protection, stock, fish and wildlife pond support.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Home Creek WS SCS Site 20 Dam plays a vital role in safeguarding the surrounding environment and community. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition remains unrated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness. With no spillway and limited outlet gates, the dam's design and functionality are crucial in managing water flow and reducing the risk of potential disasters.
As a key infrastructure project in the region, Home Creek WS SCS Site 20 Dam stands as a testament to successful collaboration between various agencies and stakeholders in addressing flood risks and protecting local communities. With its strategic location and design features, this dam serves as a critical asset in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Coleman, Texas.

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.
