Summary
Completed in 1961, this earth dam stands at a height of 39 feet and spans a length of 2582 feet. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam has a storage capacity of 531 acre-feet and serves as a crucial infrastructure for the local government in managing water resources in the area.
Managed by the TCEQ and meeting state regulatory standards for inspection and enforcement, Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 44a Dam plays a significant role in safeguarding the surrounding community from potential flooding events. Despite not having a spillway, the dam is rated as having a high risk potential (2) due to its critical importance in flood control. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam remains operational and continues to fulfill its primary function effectively.
As an essential component of water resource management in Texas, Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 44a Dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between local government agencies and the USDA NRCS in ensuring the safety and well-being of the community. With its strategic location and design, the dam serves as a key infrastructure in the region's flood risk reduction strategy, highlighting the importance of effective water resource and climate management practices for sustainable development and resilience in the face of natural disasters.

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.
