Summary
Built in 1981, this earth dam with a height of 17 feet and a length of 1715 feet plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam also serves other functions such as fire protection and providing water for stock or small fish ponds.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. Despite its age, the dam remains in good condition and is considered to have a high risk potential, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance. Equipped with a slide gate outlet, the dam is prepared to handle excess water and mitigate potential risks to downstream areas.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and increase the frequency of extreme weather events, the Lakeview WS SCS Site 11 Dam serves as a vital infrastructure for flood management and protection. With its strategic location along the Prairie Dogtown Fork Red River, the dam plays a critical role in safeguarding the community and surrounding environment from the potential devastation of flooding events. Its presence underscores the importance of proactive measures in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.

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.
