Summary
This private dam, standing at a height of 12 feet, has a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres. While it is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or water supply, it plays a significant role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite not being regulated by the state, Seale Ranch Lake Dam is inspected and permitted by Texas authorities. The dam, classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type, has not been rated for its condition assessment, but its hazard potential is considered not available. With a risk assessment rating of high, it is essential for stakeholders and enthusiasts in water resource and climate management to monitor and maintain the dam's integrity to prevent any potential risks or hazards in the future.
Although lacking certain data points and information, Seale Ranch Lake Dam remains a vital structure in the area, contributing to the management of water resources along the TR-OLMOS CREEK. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, understanding and maintaining dams like Seale Ranch Lake Dam become increasingly important for sustainable water management practices in the region.

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.
