Summary

The dam, designed by USDA NRCS, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-POST OAK CREEK. With a height of 24 feet and a length of 1380 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 401 acre-feet and a normal storage of 34 acre-feet. Despite being rated as 'Not Rated' in terms of condition assessment, the dam's hazard potential is not available, and it is classified as having a high risk (2) based on a risk assessment.

The Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 140 Dam, primarily an earth dam with a buttress core type, does not have a spillway and is not regulated by a federal agency. The dam has not been modified in recent years, and there is limited information available on its inspection frequency and emergency preparedness measures. With a risk management summary and measures not specified, the dam poses a potential risk due to its high-risk assessment rating. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find interest in the dam's design characteristics and storage capacity for flood risk reduction in the area.

As part of the local government's flood risk reduction strategy, Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 140 Dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow along the TR-POST OAK CREEK. Despite the lack of detailed information on its current condition and emergency preparedness, the dam's storage capacity and design features provide valuable insights for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As a key infrastructure for flood control in Navarro County, Texas, the dam's impact on the surrounding environment and its risk management measures are important considerations for stakeholders and regulatory agencies.

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. 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.
