Summary

This earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans 1500 feet along TR-BACHELOR CREEK, serving primarily for flood risk reduction. With a storage capacity of 569 acre-feet, the dam also supports fire protection, stock, recreation, and fish and wildlife pond purposes.

The dam's inspection in January 2017 assessed its condition as fair, with a moderate risk level of 3. It is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in May 2016. The dam is equipped with slide and uncontrolled gates for water release, and its spillway width measures 84 feet. While the hazard potential is not available, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are unlisted.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 36 Dam serves as an essential infrastructure for flood control and various other benefits in Coleman, Texas. Its design and construction by the USDA NRCS highlight a commitment to water management and environmental conservation. With ongoing inspections and regulatory oversight, the dam continues to play a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from flooding and supporting diverse ecological functions.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
