Summary
This Earth-type dam, with a height of 23 feet, serves various other functions such as fire protection, stock, small fish pond, recreation, and water supply. While it has a normal storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, its maximum storage capacity is 101 acre-feet, making it a crucial water resource in the region.
Owned privately, Mccasland Lake No 2 Dam is not regulated by the state and has no associated structures. With no spillway and a hazard potential that is not available, the dam's condition assessment is not rated. Despite these factors, the risk assessment for the dam is considered high, indicating the need for proper risk management measures. This data highlights the importance of monitoring and maintaining the dam to ensure the safety and sustainability of its functions for the community.
In the Fort Worth District, Mccasland Lake No 2 Dam stands as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region. With its primary purpose being irrigation, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural activities and other essential needs. As a significant component of the local water supply system, the dam's risk assessment underscores the importance of implementing appropriate measures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure its continued functionality for the future.

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.
