Summary
Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 72 feet and spans a length of 1440 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 4119 acre-feet. While primarily serving the purpose of flood risk reduction, it also caters to fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and recreational activities.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), this dam is crucial for maintaining the safety and well-being of the surrounding community. Although the hazard potential is not available and the condition assessment is not rated, the risk assessment indicates a high risk level. With one outlet gate and no spillway, this dam requires regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in managing water resources and mitigating potential risks.
As part of the Fort Worth District, this dam on Camp Branch plays a crucial role in water management and environmental protection. Despite the lack of detailed information on its condition and emergency preparedness, the Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 12a Dam remains a significant infrastructure for flood control and resource conservation in the region.

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.
