Summary
Completed in 1976, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and spans a length of 1350 feet, providing flood risk reduction for the surrounding area. With a storage capacity of 79 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.56 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating the impact of potential flooding events along the TR-Cottonwood Creek.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Aquilla Hackberry Creek dam is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspections, and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with safety standards. Despite its high risk assessment level, the condition of the dam remains unrated, with no available information on hazard potential or emergency action plans. The dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond management, and flood risk reduction, highlighting its importance in water resource management in the region.
Situated within the Fort Worth District, this dam has no spillway and a single outlet gate. While it lacks certain safety features like inundation maps and an established emergency action plan, Aquilla Hackberry Creek dam continues to be a vital infrastructure for the community, safeguarding against potential flood risks and ensuring water resource sustainability in Hill County, Texas.

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.
