Summary
This private Earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet, offering a storage capacity of 307 acre-feet. The dam does not have a spillway and is classified as a high-risk structure due to its hazard potential.
The dam, designed with a buttress core, has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its emergency action plan status is currently unavailable. While there have been no reported incidents or inspections for this structure, its location and purpose highlight its importance for water resource management in the region. With a focus on irrigation, Beecherl Dam plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural practices in the area and maintaining water storage for future use.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Beecherl Dam an intriguing structure to study, given its unique design and purpose. As a private dam in Texas, its significance lies in its contribution to the local water supply and its potential impact on the surrounding environment. Further research and monitoring of this dam could provide valuable insights into its structural integrity and resilience to changing climate 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.
