Summary
Completed in 1974, this earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and stretches 1350 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1117 acre-feet. While primarily serving the purpose of flood risk reduction, this dam also supports fire protection, stock, or small fish pond, and recreation activities in the area.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the TCEQ, the Cedar Creek WS SCS Site 113 Dam plays a vital role in safeguarding the surrounding community from potential hazards. With a high risk assessment rating, the dam has not been rated for its condition, emphasizing the need for regular inspections and risk management measures to ensure its continued functionality. Despite lacking a spillway, this structure provides essential water resource management and contributes to the sustainability of the region's water supply.
As an integral part of the Fort Worth District, this dam underscores the collaborative efforts between federal and local agencies in maintaining water infrastructure and promoting environmental resilience. With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, the Cedar Creek WS SCS Site 113 Dam stands as a testament to the importance of effective flood control measures in mitigating risks and enhancing water resource management for the community's benefit.

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.
