North Creek Ws Scs Site 14 Dam Reservoir Report

Last Updated: December 5, 2025

North Creek WS SCS Site 14 Dam, located in Jack County, Texas, was completed in 1970 by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction.

Summary

This earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and spans 630 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 315 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.81 square miles. Despite lacking a spillway, this dam serves as a vital structure for managing water flow along the TR-North Creek.

Managed by the TCEQ and falling under state jurisdiction, the North Creek WS SCS Site 14 Dam is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Although its hazard potential is not available and its condition remains unrated, the dam poses a high risk according to a risk assessment. With emergency action plans and inundation maps yet to be prepared, the dam's integrity and effectiveness in flood control are of paramount importance for maintaining the safety and resilience of the surrounding community and environment.

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.
