Summary
Built in 1976 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a length of 1010 feet. It serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, and flood risk reduction, with a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet and a surface area of 13.5 acres.
The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes state inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes. While it does not have a spillway, it features one outlet gate and is classified as having a high risk level (2). Despite not having a hazard potential rating or a current condition assessment, Aquilla Hackberry Ck WS SCS Gss 20-1 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
As part of the Fort Worth District, the Aquilla Hackberry Ck WS SCS Gss 20-1 dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between local government entities and federal agencies in safeguarding communities and natural resources against the impacts of extreme weather events and climate change. Its presence underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices and highlights the ongoing challenges faced by water resource and climate enthusiasts in ensuring the resilience of our infrastructure in the face of uncertain environmental conditions.

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.
