Summary
Standing at 19 feet tall and stretching 450 feet in length, this earth dam plays a crucial role in storing and regulating water from Richardson Creek. With a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, it primarily caters to the water needs of the region, with a normal storage level of 45 acre-feet.
Despite its importance, Warren Lake No 2 Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its hazard potential is currently listed as "Not Available." However, the dam is under state jurisdiction and receives regular inspections and permitting. While it does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate. The risk assessment for this dam is considered high, with a rating of 2, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
Although there are some uncertainties regarding the dam's condition and risk assessment, Warren Lake No 2 Dam remains a critical water resource infrastructure in Texas. With its strategic location and storage capacity, the dam plays a significant role in water supply management for the region. As climate change impacts water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of structures like Warren Lake No 2 Dam become increasingly crucial to ensure a sustainable and secure water supply for the future.

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.
