Summary
Completed in 1951, this earth dam stands at a height of 40 feet and stretches 2400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 3576 acre-feet. It serves multiple purposes, including flood risk reduction and irrigation, making it a vital component of water resource management in the area.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the North Creek WS SCS Site 18 Dam has not undergone recent inspections or assessments, with its hazard potential and condition assessment marked as "Not Available" and "Not Rated," respectively. Despite the lack of recent data, the dam's moderate risk level (3) suggests the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in mitigating flood risks and supporting irrigation needs in the region.
With its uncontrolled spillway and four outlet gates, the North Creek WS SCS Site 18 Dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the significance of structures like this dam in minimizing flood risks and supporting agricultural activities underscores the need for continued oversight and investment in sustainable water management practices to ensure the resilience of communities and ecosystems in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
