Summary
The earth dam, with a hydraulic height of 20 feet and a length of 720 feet, holds a maximum storage capacity of 104 acre-feet. Despite its relatively small surface area of 8 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water supply to the region, especially for agricultural activities.
Managed by a private entity, Hall Dam is not regulated by the state but undergoes regular inspections and permitting processes. With no spillway and a hazard potential categorized as "Not Available," the dam is considered to have a high risk level (2). While its condition assessment is yet to be rated, the structure's risk management measures and emergency preparedness protocols are not specified in the data. With a single outlet gate and no associated structures, Hall Dam stands as a vital resource in the area's water infrastructure.
Situated on the TR-WALNUT CREEK river/stream, Hall Dam stands under the jurisdiction of the Galveston District. Despite the lack of detailed information on federal agency involvement and funding, the dam continues to serve its purpose in providing water resources for irrigation and water supply. As climate change and water resource management become increasingly important, maintaining and monitoring structures like Hall Dam is crucial to ensuring sustainable water use in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
