Summary

Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet and stretches 2,544 feet in length along Rock Tank Creek. With a storage capacity of 1,239 acre-feet, the dam serves to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 60 Dam plays a vital role in flood risk reduction efforts. Despite its high hazard potential and a lack of current condition assessment, the dam remains a critical asset for water resource management in the area. While it currently lacks a spillway and has not been modified in recent years, the dam's structural integrity and operational capacity are crucial for safeguarding the community.

As a key component of the Fort Worth District's water infrastructure, Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 60 Dam underscores the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness. With a risk assessment rating of "High (2)" and limited information on emergency response protocols, there is a need for ongoing monitoring and assessment to ensure the dam's continued effectiveness in protecting the local area from potential flooding events.

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.
