Summary

Built in 1957, this earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and has a length of 795 feet, with a storage capacity of 109 acre-feet. The dam overlooks TR-LAKE CREEK and is managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is not rated, and it has a high hazard potential.

With a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 14 feet, B and P Lake No 1 Dam offers a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate the surrounding natural beauty. While the dam does not have a spillway, it does have an outlet gate to control water levels. The dam's risk assessment is rated as high (2), indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure its continued safety and functionality for recreational purposes.

Although the dam has not been inspected since 1978, it remains an important feature in the local landscape, providing opportunities for outdoor activities and wildlife habitat. As a privately owned structure, it is not subject to state regulation or enforcement, but it does have state permitting and inspection requirements in place. The dam's historical significance and role in providing recreational opportunities make it a valuable asset for the community and a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts.

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.
