Summary

This earth dam with a height of 20 feet and length of 1225 feet has a maximum storage capacity of 417 acre-feet and a normal storage of 29 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 8 acres and draining a 1.05 square mile area. Although it does not have a spillway, the dam is designed to effectively manage floodwaters and protect the surrounding community from potential hazards.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the TCEQ, the North Creek WS SCS Site 31 Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, but it is deemed to have a high risk level. With no recent inspection data available, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unknown, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of this critical water resource infrastructure. As an essential component of the region's water management system, the dam plays a key role in safeguarding the local area from flooding events and enhancing overall resilience to climate-related challenges.

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.
