Summary

Completed in 1953, this earth dam stands at a height of 8 feet and spans over 10,000 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 713 acre-feet, it serves as a crucial resource for water management in the region, particularly for agricultural activities.

Despite its age, Seaberg Reservoir No 4 Dam has not been rated for its condition and lacks recent inspection data. However, its hazard potential is not deemed to be high, and it remains regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The dam does not have a spillway and is not associated with any locks. The risk assessment for this structure indicates a moderate level of risk, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts.

Overall, Seaberg Reservoir No 4 Dam plays a vital role in supporting irrigation activities in the area, although its condition assessment and maintenance history are not readily available. As climate change poses new challenges for water resource management, continued oversight and investment in infrastructure like Seaberg Reservoir No 4 Dam will be essential to ensure the safety and sustainability of water supplies in the region.

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.
