Summary

Completed in 1976 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 875 feet, providing flood risk reduction along the TR-Hackberry Creek. With a normal storage capacity of 17 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 77 acre-feet, this dam covers a surface area of 4.5 acres and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, and flood risk reduction.

Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Aquilla Hackberry Creek WS SCS Gss 15 1 has a high risk assessment level of 2, although its hazard potential is not available. The dam does not have a spillway, and its condition assessment remains unrated. Despite the lack of recent inspection data, this structure is equipped with one outlet gate and falls under the jurisdiction and regulatory oversight of the state. Positioned within the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts between federal and local agencies in safeguarding water resources in the region.

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.
