Tehuacana Creek Ws Scs Gss 103 dam
Tehuacana Creek Ws Scs Gss 103
Tehuacana Creek WS SCS Gss 103 is a flood risk reduction structure located in McLennan County, Texas. Constructed in 1977 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 188 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam serves other functions including fire protection, stock, or small fish pond.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Tehuacana Creek WS SCS Gss 103 is state-regulated and subject to regular inspection, enforcement, and permitting. The dam sits on TR-RICE CREEK and falls under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite having a high risk assessment rating, the condition of the structure is currently not rated, and there are no emergency action plans in place.
Overall, Tehuacana Creek WS SCS Gss 103 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region while also supporting various water resource management functions. As a key infrastructure managed by local government authorities and designed by the USDA NRCS, this dam highlights the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in protecting the surrounding communities and environment.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Tehuacana Creek Ws Scs Gss 103
Where does the data for Tehuacana Creek Ws Scs Gss 103 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
