Summary
The dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a length of 640 feet, creating a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 72 acre-feet. Despite its relatively small size, the dam serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area.
Situated on the TR-Long Creek in Clay County, Texas, Ac Douthitt Ranch Dam No 1 has a risk assessment rating of High (2) due to its condition being not rated and the absence of a hazard potential evaluation. Although it is not regulated by the state and does not have an emergency action plan in place, the dam continues to play a critical role in water supply management in the region. With no spillway present and limited information on its inspection history, there is a need for further assessment and potentially increased monitoring to ensure the safety and functionality of this essential water infrastructure.
The Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers oversees the area where Ac Douthitt Ranch Dam No 1 is located, but does not have any direct involvement in the dam's ownership, funding, design, construction, or operation. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor and advocate for the proper maintenance and management of dams like these to ensure the sustainability of water supplies and the protection of communities downstream.

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.
