Summary

This earth dam, with a height of 37 feet and a length of 3010 feet, has a normal storage capacity of 192 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 1461 acre-feet, serving as a crucial reservoir for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes in addition to flood control. The dam is owned and regulated by the local government and is subject to inspection, permitting, and enforcement by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Despite being classified with a high risk assessment level of 2, the condition of Lakeview WS SCS Site 9 Dam is currently not rated, with emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan and inundation maps not yet documented. The dam features a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate, and its hazard potential and risk management measures are not available. While the dam's hazard potential may raise concerns among water resource and climate enthusiasts, ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and local authorities are essential for ensuring the safety and stability of this vital flood control structure in the region.

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.
