Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 37 feet and a length of 1080 feet, serves to regulate water flow and provide essential storage capacity to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events. With a normal storage capacity of 61 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 641 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Managed by the TCEQ and designated as a state-regulated structure, the Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 131rev Dam undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam is currently rated as "Not Available" for condition assessment, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance. As a key component of the local government's flood risk reduction strategy, the dam serves as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in mitigating the impact of extreme weather events and safeguarding the community's well-being.
As climate change continues to pose challenges to water resource management, structures like the Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 131rev Dam play a critical role in enhancing resilience and adapting to a changing environment. With its strategic location and design, the dam not only helps to mitigate flood risks but also contributes to the overall sustainability of water resources in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to recognize the significance of such infrastructure in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the unpredictable forces of nature.

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.
