Summary

Completed in 1964, this earth dam stands at a height of 38 feet and spans a length of 1700 feet, with a storage capacity of 380 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Pecan Bayou and is designed for water supply purposes, making it a key resource for the local community.

Despite being privately owned, Arrowhead Ranch Lake Dam is subject to state permitting and inspection to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with regulations. The dam has a buttress core type and is classified as having a high risk assessment, indicating the need for effective risk management measures. While the spillway type is listed as 'None', the dam's capacity to store water and provide a reliable source for irrigation and other uses underscores its importance in the area.

As a significant feature of the local water resource infrastructure, Arrowhead Ranch Lake Dam plays a crucial role in sustaining water supply for the region. Its strategic location on the TR-Pecan Bayou and substantial storage capacity highlight its value in mitigating water scarcity challenges and supporting environmental conservation efforts. With ongoing state oversight and a focus on risk management, this dam continues to be a key asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.

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.
