Summary

The dam is situated on TR-WOLF CREEK and serves as a water resource for the area, with a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 90 acre-feet. The dam has a surface area of 16 acres and no spillway, indicating its reliance on other outlets for water discharge.

Despite being privately owned, Perryton Feeders Lake No 1 Dam is regulated by the state of Texas, with permitting and inspection processes in place. The dam is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or hydroelectric power generation, reflecting its importance for water resource management in the region. With a high risk assessment rating of 2, there is a need for effective risk management measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the dam for both water users and the environment.

The dam's association with TR-WOLF CREEK and its role in storing water highlight its significance for the local ecosystem and climate resilience. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Perryton Feeders Lake No 1 Dam will be crucial in ensuring sustainable water management practices in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
