Summary
The dam serves primarily for flood risk reduction, with secondary purposes including fire protection, stock, or small fish pond management. Standing at a height of 34 feet and stretching 1650 feet in length, this earth dam has a storage capacity of 988 acre-feet and a drainage area of 3.5 square miles.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 82 feet and outlet gates including a slide (sluice gate) and two uncontrolled gates. The structural integrity and condition assessment of Lakeview WS SCS Site 15 Dam are currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in July 2011. Despite a moderate risk rating, the dam's hazard potential and emergency response preparedness are listed as not available, indicating a need for further assessment and planning to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure in the face of potential climate-related challenges.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Lakeview WS SCS Site 15 Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. With its strategic location and design features, the dam represents a vital asset for flood control and ecosystem protection, highlighting the importance of sustainable infrastructure development in adapting to changing climate conditions and safeguarding water resources for future generations.

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.
