Summary

Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches 1160 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 392 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-TRINITY RIVER, it plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks for the surrounding area.

Despite its importance in flood risk reduction, the dam lacks certain safety features like a spillway and has not been rated for its condition assessment. However, it is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections, ensuring its structural integrity. With a high risk assessment rating of 2, it is clear that maintaining this dam is essential for protecting the community and water resources in the region.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Grays Creek WS SCS Site 105 Dam serves as a fascinating case study of the intersection between infrastructure, environmental protection, and public safety. As discussions around climate change and water management continue to evolve, the importance of maintaining and investing in structures like this dam becomes increasingly clear. The data provided offers a glimpse into the complexities of managing water resources in a changing climate and highlights the ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and resilience of our water infrastructure.

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.
