Summary
With a dam height of 45 feet and a length of 2200 feet, this earth-type structure serves the primary purpose of irrigation, holding a normal storage capacity of 108 acre-feet. The dam overlooks TR-Pompey Creek and is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), ensuring compliance with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols.
The dam, with a spillway width of 202 feet and uncontrolled outlet gates, boasts a maximum discharge of 7547 cubic feet per second, supporting a drainage area of 7.81 square miles. Despite being last assessed in April 2021 and deemed to be in fair condition, the hazard potential of this structure is not available. The risk assessment categorizes it as moderate, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety and efficiency of this vital water resource infrastructure in Texas.
Overall, Blanket Creek WS SCS Site 19 Dam plays a pivotal role in sustaining agricultural activities through irrigation in the region. As a part of the Fort Worth District and owned by a local government entity, this dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between state and federal agencies in managing water resources effectively while balancing environmental conservation and agricultural needs. With its rich history and ongoing maintenance, this dam remains a key asset in the water resource management landscape of Texas.

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.
