Summary

This private dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a height of 26 feet and a length of 600 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 93 acre-feet.

The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes state inspection, permitting, and enforcement procedures. Despite not having a spillway, the dam has a single outlet gate. The condition assessment of the dam is not rated, and the hazard potential is listed as "Not Available." However, the risk assessment is considered high, with a risk level of 2.

Overall, Trophy Club Estates Dam plays a crucial role in providing irrigation water in the area, while also facing some risk factors that require management measures to ensure its safety and integrity. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find the dam's design and construction details, as well as its regulatory oversight, of interest in understanding its importance and potential challenges in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
