Langford Creek WS SCS Site 4 Dam, located in Clarksville, Texas, serves as a crucial structure for flood risk reduction along the TR-Langford Creek.


Summary

Built in 1960 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and spans a length of 2092 feet, with a storage capacity of 321 acre-feet. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 101 feet, designed to handle a maximum discharge of 2412 cubic feet per second.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Langford Creek WS SCS Site 4 Dam has been assessed to be in satisfactory condition, ensuring its effectiveness in mitigating flood hazards in the region. With a drainage area of 0.6 square miles, the dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events. Its emergency action plan status and risk assessment indicate a moderate level of risk, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to uphold its structural integrity and safeguard the area from potential hazards.

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.
