Summary
Built in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at 38 feet high and spans a length of 2295 feet. With a storage capacity of 1380 acre-feet, it plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Owned and regulated by the local government, specifically the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 64a Dam is designed to withstand high-risk scenarios with a hazard potential rating of "Not Available" and a risk assessment of "High (2)". Although the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate to manage water levels. While the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", the dam undergoes regular state inspections and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and functionality.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 64a Dam in mitigating flood risks and protecting the local community. As a key infrastructure managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the region. With its strategic location and design, the dam stands as a testament to proactive measures taken to safeguard against potential disasters and ensure the safety of surrounding areas.

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.
