Lakeview Ws Scs Site 8 Dam Reservoir Report
Last Updated: December 5, 2025
Lakeview WS SCS Site 8 Dam, located in Hall, Texas, along Big John Mann Creek, was designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1979 for flood risk reduction.

Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 44 feet and stretches for 2940 feet, with a storage capacity of 1799 acre-feet. Although the dam lacks a spillway, it is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular state inspections, enforcement, and permitting.
While primarily serving flood risk reduction purposes, the Lakeview WS SCS Site 8 Dam also provides fire protection, supports stock or small fish ponds, and offers recreational opportunities. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and it has a high risk assessment level of 2. With one slide (sluice gate) outlet gate in place, the dam's associated structures include buttress core types with an unknown foundation. The dam's location in the Tulsa District of the USACE contributes to its significance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.

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.
