Summary

Completed in 1972, this earth dam stands at 34 feet high and spans 1300 feet along the Big Cleveland Creek. With a normal storage capacity of 69 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 1317 acre-feet, this dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the region.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), this dam is inspected, permitted, and enforced to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its high risk assessment, the structure is not currently rated for condition assessment, and emergency action plans are yet to be prepared. The dam, with its buttress core type and unlisted foundation, serves as a critical asset for flood control and water management, highlighting the importance of sustainable infrastructure in mitigating climate-related risks in the region.

Located within the Fort Worth District, the North Creek WS SCS Site 19 Dam represents a strategic partnership between federal and local agencies to address water resource challenges. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design, purpose, and regulatory framework of such structures is essential in promoting sustainable water management practices and resilience to changing environmental conditions.

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.
