Farmers Creek Ws Scs Debris Basin 122 Reservoir Report

Last Updated: December 5, 2025

Farmers Creek WS SCS Debris Basin 122, located in Belleville, Texas, was completed in 1974 by the USDA NRCS with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Greenbrier Creek.

Summary

This earth dam structure stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 766 feet in length, providing storage capacity for 53 acre-feet of water in its 4.1-acre surface area. The dam is regulated by TCEQ and has state-permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols in place to ensure its functionality and safety.

Despite its age, the condition of Farmers Creek WS SCS Debris Basin 122 is not rated, and its hazard potential is currently not available. However, the risk assessment categorizes it as having a high risk level. The structure features an outlet gate for water discharge and is designed to control debris, provide fire protection, and serve as a habitat for fish and wildlife. With no spillway and a relatively small drainage area of 0.16 square miles, this debris basin plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Montague County, Texas, under the oversight of the Fort Worth District.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
