Jim Ned Creek Ws Scs Site 35 Dam dam
Jim Ned Creek Ws Scs Site 35 Dam
Located in Coleman, Texas, the Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 35 Dam stands as a testament to the remarkable flood risk reduction efforts undertaken by local government. Built in 1967 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam spans 2040 feet in length and reaches a height of 25 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 923 acre-feet. The dam primarily serves the purpose of flood risk reduction but also caters to fire protection, stock, small fish ponds, fish and wildlife habitats, and recreational activities.
Managed by the TCEQ and subject to state regulations, the dam has been deemed to have a fair condition assessment as of 2017. With a moderate risk level, the dam features uncontrolled spillways and a combination of slide and uncontrolled outlet gates to manage its water discharge. Despite not having an inundation map or emergency action plan in place, the dam continues to play a crucial role in mitigating flood risks along the TR-Bachelor Prong stream.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the intricate details of the Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 35 Dam, they will uncover a rich history of flood management strategies and environmental stewardship. With its strategic location and design features, this dam stands as a vital asset in safeguarding the local community against potential hazards while also providing essential support for wildlife conservation and recreational pursuits.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Jim Ned Creek Ws Scs Site 35 Dam
Where does the data for Jim Ned Creek Ws Scs Site 35 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
