Summary
Completed in 1952, the dam stands at a height of 35 feet and serves primarily for irrigation purposes. With a storage capacity of 2217 acre-feet, it plays a crucial role in water management in the area. The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
Despite its age, Reed Dam 4 continues to be a key component in the local water resource infrastructure. The dam has a high hazard potential rating, emphasizing the importance of proper management and maintenance. While it does not have a spillway, the dam features one outlet gate for water release. The risk assessment for Reed Dam 4 indicates a high level of risk, underscoring the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to protect the surrounding community and environment.
As a part of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Reed Dam 4 plays a vital role in water storage and distribution for irrigation purposes in the region. While its condition assessment is not rated, the dam's significance in water resource management cannot be overlooked. With its long history and continued importance, Reed Dam 4 stands as a testament to the crucial role that dams play in supporting local water needs and managing climate-related challenges in 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.
