Summary
Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at 37 feet high and spans 825 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 98 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this structure is flood risk reduction, serving as a vital component in managing water resources in the area.
Despite its age, Clear Creek WS SCS Sed Cont Str 113 remains in good condition and has not been rated for its structural integrity. With a high risk assessment level of 2, the dam is closely monitored by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for inspection, permitting, and enforcement. While no spillway is present, the dam does feature one outlet gate and is designed to control debris, protect against fire, and support small fish ponds in addition to flood risk reduction.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the role of Clear Creek WS SCS Sed Cont Str 113 in safeguarding the local community from potential flooding events. As part of the larger network of flood control infrastructure in the area, this dam serves as a critical element in water resource management and environmental protection efforts. Its strategic location along TR-North Bingham Creek underscores its importance in mitigating flood risks and maintaining the overall health of the watershed.

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.
