Summary
Completed in 1954, this Earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 1605 feet, providing essential flood risk reduction measures for the local community. With a storage capacity of 1462 acre-feet and a drainage area of 2.25 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Owned by the Local Government and regulated by TCEQ, Grays Creek WS SCS Site 6 Dam is a key component of the water management system in the area. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a high hazard potential rating. Despite not having a spillway, this dam serves as a critical structure for water resource management, especially during extreme weather events. With a risk assessment rating of High (2), it is imperative for stakeholders to ensure proper maintenance and monitoring of this dam to safeguard the surrounding communities and ecosystems.
As climate change continues to impact the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, the role of infrastructure like Grays Creek WS SCS Site 6 Dam becomes increasingly crucial in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks. With its strategic location and design, this dam is a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of a changing climate. As such, continued investment in maintaining and upgrading this dam is essential to ensure the resilience of the local water infrastructure and the safety of the community it serves.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
