Summary
Built in 1962 by the US Army, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches across 625 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 168 acre-feet. The dam primarily serves recreational purposes, including fish and wildlife conservation, water supply, and outdoor activities.
Despite its low hazard potential, Dam 35 is subject to regular inspections by the US Army, with the last assessment conducted in September 2020. The dam's emergency action plan was last revised in May 2010, indicating a proactive approach to risk management. While the condition assessment is currently listed as not available, the risk assessment for Dam 35 is classified as moderate, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of this vital water resource infrastructure. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Dam 35 as an intriguing case study in federal dam management and its impact on the local ecosystem and community in Coryell 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.
