Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans a length of 1313 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 768 acre-feet and a normal storage of 40 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is flood risk reduction, but it also supports fire protection, stock, small fish ponds, fish and wildlife habitats, and recreation activities.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam has not been rated for condition assessment but is categorized as having a high risk level. With one outlet gate and no spillway, the dam has a hazard potential that is not currently available for assessment. Despite the lack of recent inspection data and emergency action preparedness, the Home Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam remains a key asset in the region's water resource and climate management efforts.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the infrastructure, it is essential for stakeholders to collaborate on risk management measures and emergency action planning to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam. With its strategic location on TR-HOME CREEK and support for various ecological and recreational purposes, the Home Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam plays a crucial role in the sustainable development and resilience of the local community 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.
