Managed by local government authorities and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, North Creek WS SCS Site 23 Dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the community from water-related hazards. With a drainage area of 4.9 square miles and a normal storage capacity of 110 acre-feet, this dam is a vital piece of infrastructure for managing water resources in the region. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in flood control.
The absence of a spillway and limited outlet gates at the dam indicate the importance of regular inspections and risk assessments to ensure its structural integrity. With a high risk level assigned to this structure, it underscores the need for continued vigilance and preparedness to mitigate any potential threats. North Creek WS SCS Site 23 Dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of various agencies in addressing flood risk and water management challenges in the region.
