The Northwest Laterals WS SCS Site 12 Dam, located in Coleman, Texas, was completed in 1964 by the USDA NRCS and serves primarily for flood risk reduction.
This earth-type dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a length of 1738 feet, providing a storage capacity of 774 acre-feet. Despite its purpose for flood risk reduction, the dam also serves as a fire protection, stock, or small fish pond, and a fish and wildlife pond, benefiting the local ecosystem.
Managed by the TCEQ, this dam is state-regulated and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity. The dam has a high risk assessment rating of 2, indicating the importance of its maintenance and management to prevent any potential hazards. While the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with an outlet gate for water release when necessary. With its location on TR-PANTHER CREEK and serving the local community for over half a century, the Northwest Laterals WS SCS Site 12 Dam stands as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the region.
