Summary
The dam, designed by USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 19 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a storage capacity of 357 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
This Earth dam, with a structural length of 1912 feet, is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance. With a risk assessment rating of High (2), it is essential for the responsible agencies to implement adequate risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
In the picturesque setting of Langford Creek, this dam not only provides flood risk reduction but also serves purposes such as fire protection and stock or small fish pond. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water resources management, the Langford Creek WS SCS Site 7 Dam stands as a vital infrastructure piece in safeguarding the local community and ecosystem against the impacts of extreme weather events.

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.
