Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 52 feet and has a capacity of 3380 acre-feet, with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates for water release, with a fair condition assessment as of December 2016.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the TCEQ, the dam undergoes inspections every five years to ensure safety and functionality. While the hazard potential and inundation maps are not available, the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level. The dam's overall risk management measures and emergency preparedness status are not specified, suggesting a need for further evaluation and improvement in these areas.
Home Creek WS SCS Site 15 Dam serves multiple purposes beyond flood risk reduction, including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and recreation. With its strategic location and design features, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to safeguard the community and surrounding environment.

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.
