Summary
Completed in 1971, this earth dam stands at a height of 41 feet and spans a length of 1760 feet, with a storage capacity of 2158 acre-feet. Situated on North Creek, this dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and efficacy.
Despite its high hazard potential and lack of a spillway, the North Creek WS SCS Site 24 Dam plays a crucial role in flood risk reduction for the surrounding community. With a drainage area of 5.47 square miles and a normal storage capacity of 111 acre-feet, this dam serves as a key element in managing water resources in the region. While its condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk assessment is classified as high, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and management measures to ensure its continued effectiveness.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the North Creek WS SCS Site 24 Dam serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts of local government and federal agencies in safeguarding against the impacts of climate variability and extreme weather events. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, understanding the significance of infrastructure like this dam is essential in building resilience and sustainability in the face of a changing climate.

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.
