Lakeview Ws Scs Site 4 Dam Reservoir Report
Last Updated: March 14, 2026
Lakeview WS SCS Site 4 Dam, located in Hall, Texas, was completed in 1973 and is owned by the local government.
Summary
The dam, designed by the USDA NRCS, serves primarily for flood risk reduction but also supports fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. With a height of 57 feet and a length of 2600 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 5925 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 40 acres. It is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality.
Situated on West Bitter Creek, the Lakeview WS SCS Site 4 Dam is a crucial structure in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. Equipped with controlled and uncontrolled outlet gates, the dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 12,116 cubic feet per second. Although the hazard potential and condition assessment of the dam are currently not available, emergency action plans have been prepared and updated to guide responses in case of any unforeseen events. The dam is part of the Tulsa District and is not under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Overall, the Lakeview WS SCS Site 4 Dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the region, providing essential flood protection and supporting various other functions. With a history dating back to 1973, the dam continues to be a key infrastructure for the local community, ensuring the safety and security of residents and properties in the area. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water resources, the importance of well-maintained dams like Lakeview WS SCS Site 4 Dam in mitigating risks and enhancing resilience cannot be overstated.

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.
