Summary
This Earth-type dam stands at 37 feet high and stretches 1230 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 852 acre-feet. While primarily serving flood risk reduction purposes, it also provides fire protection and supports stock or small fish ponds in the area. The dam is under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
With a high hazard potential rating of 2, Lakeview WS SCS Site 1 Dam is closely monitored to mitigate any potential risks. Despite not having a spillway, the dam is equipped with a Slide (sluice gate) outlet for controlled water release. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam has a well-structured emergency action plan (EAP) in place. The dam is owned by the local government and operated by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, ensuring proper maintenance and management to safeguard the surrounding area from flooding events.
In the event of an emergency, the dam has designated emergency contacts, although the inundation maps and risk management measures are not readily available. With its strategic location and vital role in flood control, Lakeview WS SCS Site 1 Dam stands as a crucial infrastructure asset in protecting the community of SOUTH BRICE and beyond from potential water-related disasters.

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.
