Summary

The earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and stretches 610 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 173 acre-feet. While the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate for water release. The dam is privately owned and state regulated, with inspection and permitting processes in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.

The dam's location on TR-Duck Creek within the Fort Worth District makes it a crucial water resource in the region. With a surface area of 13 acres and a normal storage capacity of 68 acre-feet, the dam plays a significant role in managing water resources for local communities. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks. Overall, B and P Lake No 2 Dam stands as a key infrastructure for water management and conservation in the area, providing essential services for fire protection and aquatic life support.

As a privately owned structure, B and P Lake No 2 Dam reflects the importance of private ownership in water resource management. The dam's primary purpose of fire protection and stock pond management underscores its value in supporting local ecosystems and communities. With a risk assessment rating of 2 (high), it is imperative for stakeholders to prioritize risk management measures and stay vigilant in ensuring the dam's structural integrity. By upholding regular inspections and compliance with regulations, B and P Lake No 2 Dam can continue to serve as a vital water resource for the region, contributing to climate resilience and sustainable water management efforts.

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.
