Jim Ned Creek Ws Scs Site 25b Dam Reservoir Report

Last Updated: December 5, 2025

Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 25b Dam, located in Coleman, Texas, was completed in 1962 by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Indian Creek.

Summary

The earth dam stands at a height of 46 feet and stretches 930 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 713 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam has not been rated for condition assessment and lacks an Emergency Action Plan, reflecting a high risk potential.

Owned by the local government and regulated by the TCEQ, this dam plays a crucial role in fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management, in addition to its flood risk reduction function. The absence of a spillway and limited hazard potential classification may raise concerns among water resource enthusiasts and climate activists, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this structure.

With K. Michael Conaway (R) as the Congressional representative for the area, stakeholders should advocate for comprehensive risk assessment and management measures to address the potential vulnerabilities of Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 25b Dam. Transparency in inspection reports, emergency preparedness, and adherence to regulatory guidelines are essential to safeguarding the surrounding communities and ecosystems from the impacts of dam failure and flooding events.

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.
