Summary
Built in 1970 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at a height of 46 feet and stretches 600 feet in length, providing essential protection for the surrounding area. With a storage capacity of 506 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 33 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and ensuring the safety of residents in the event of a flood.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the North Creek WS SCS Site 30 Dam is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to maintain its structural integrity and functionality. Despite being classified as having a high risk potential, the dam's condition remains unrated, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to safeguard the community it serves. With no spillway and limited emergency preparedness measures in place, the dam serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced in managing water resources and climate risks in the region.
As part of the Fort Worth District, the North Creek WS SCS Site 30 Dam is a key piece of infrastructure in the area's water management system. While its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, the dam also serves as a critical tool in regulating water flow and protecting the surrounding environment. With its history dating back over 50 years, the dam stands as a symbol of resilience and innovation in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing water resource challenges.

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.
