Lakeview Ws Scs Site 2 Dam Reservoir Report
Last Updated: March 14, 2026
Lakeview WS SCS Site 2 Dam, located in Donley County, Texas, is a vital structure designed by the USDA NRCS to mitigate flood risks along Brushy Creek.
Summary
Completed in 1976, this earth dam stands at a height of 47 feet and stretches over 3010 feet, providing significant storage capacity of 2469 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam also serves fire protection, recreation, and water supply for stock or small fish ponds in the area.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Lakeview WS SCS Site 2 Dam features an uncontrolled spillway, outlet gates, and a drainage area of 4.9 square miles. While the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it undergoes inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity. With Mac Thornberry as the representative, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and enhancing resilience against climate-related hazards in the region.
Despite its moderate risk assessment level, Lakeview WS SCS Site 2 Dam continues to provide essential flood protection and water management services to the community. As part of the broader water infrastructure in Texas, this dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between federal agencies, local governments, and regulatory bodies in safeguarding against water-related emergencies and ensuring sustainable water resource management 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.
