Despite being categorized as having a fair condition assessment as of April 2021, Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 122b Dam has a moderate hazard potential. It is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in March 2018. While the dam has not been modified since 1971, it continues to serve its purpose effectively in mitigating flood risks for the surrounding area. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the engineering behind this vital infrastructure that safeguards the community from potential inundation events.
