Summary
Owned privately, the dam is designed by USDA NRCS and stands at a height of 24 feet with a length of 700 feet. Its primary purpose is water supply, providing a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 56 acre-feet.
Situated on the TR-Hackberry Creek, the dam is classified as an Earth type with a Buttress core design. Despite not having a spillway, it plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and ensuring a stable water supply for the area. While its hazard potential is not available and condition is not rated, the dam is considered to have a high risk level, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance.
With its strategic location and essential role in water management, Mrs Jh Williams Ranch Lake Dam stands as a key infrastructure ensuring water supply reliability for the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and upkeep of such structures become increasingly important in safeguarding against potential risks and ensuring sustainable water management practices for the future.

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.
