The Rosser Trinidad Laterals WS SCS Site 1 Dam, located in Kaufman, Texas, was completed in 1953 by the USDA NRCS and serves as a crucial structure for flood risk reduction along Cottonwood Creek.
Standing at a height of 37.7 feet and with a length of 2810 feet, this earth dam has a storage capacity of 7857 acre-feet and a drainage area of 12.6 square miles. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam features two outlet gates and a spillway width of 209 feet to manage water flow during peak discharge events.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Rosser Trinidad Laterals WS SCS Site 1 Dam plays a vital role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flooding. While the dam's hazard potential is not available and its condition remains unrated, regular inspections are conducted every five years to ensure its structural integrity. With a moderate risk assessment level, it is essential for emergency preparedness and risk management measures to be in place to mitigate any potential threats to the dam and its downstream communities.
This dam not only serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction but also supports fire protection, stock watering, and recreation activities in the area. With a notable association with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Fort Worth District of the USACE, the Rosser Trinidad Laterals WS SCS Site 1 Dam stands as a testament to collaborative efforts in water resource management and climate resilience in Texas.
