Summary
This earth dam, standing at a height of 32 feet, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, or small fish pond, in addition to flood risk reduction. The dam has a storage capacity of 147 acre-feet with a normal storage of 13 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 0.27 square miles along the TR-Pecan Creek.
Managed by the TCEQ and inspected regularly, the dam is deemed to be in fair condition as of the last assessment in 2016. With one controlled and one uncontrolled outlet gate, the dam is equipped for efficient water management during periods of high discharge. While the hazard potential and risk assessment details are not available, the dam's strategic location and design underscore its significance in water resource management for the region.
As a part of the Fort Worth District and overseen by the local government, Pecan Creek WS SCS Site 3 Dam stands as a testament to effective collaboration between various agencies for sustainable water resource management. With its rich history and ongoing commitment to safety and functionality, this dam plays a vital role in ensuring the resilience of the surrounding communities in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource challenges.

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.
