Summary
Completed in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 112 feet, with a hydraulic height of 109 feet. It spans 15,150 feet in length and has a maximum storage capacity of 829,983 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the community. The dam is regulated and inspected by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), ensuring its structural integrity and safe operation.
The dam, designed by FREESE AND NICHOLS AND ENDRESS, has undergone modifications in 1994 to enhance its structural capabilities. With a spillway width of 6156 feet and the ability to discharge up to 485,200 cubic feet per second, Hubbard Creek Dam is equipped to handle potential flood events effectively. The dam's condition is not currently rated, but it has a designated emergency action plan (EAP) in place. With a history of responsible management and regular inspections, Hubbard Creek Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Stephens County, Texas.
As a significant infrastructure project in the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Hubbard Creek Dam represents a key component of the region's water management system. Its primary purpose of water supply underscores its importance in sustaining local communities and ecosystems. With its impressive storage capacity and strategic location on Hubbard Creek, this dam stands as a testament to effective engineering and regulatory oversight in ensuring water security for the area.

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.
