Summary
Built in 1963, this earth dam stands at 46 feet high with a length of 950 feet, providing a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam also serves other functions such as debris control, fire protection, and stock or small fish pond management.
Despite its age, Clear Creek WS SCS Sed Cont Str 103 remains in good condition, with a high hazard potential but a risk assessment rating of 2 out of 5. The dam has not been rated for condition assessment, and its emergency action plan and inundation maps are not available. Currently, the dam does not have a spillway and only one outlet gate, indicating a need for further inspection and potential upgrades to meet modern safety standards.
With the oversight of the TCEQ and USDA NRCS, Clear Creek WS SCS Sed Cont Str 103 plays a crucial role in managing flood risk and protecting the surrounding community. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to stay informed about the condition of such structures to ensure their continued effectiveness in safeguarding against natural disasters.

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.
