Summary

Completed in 1968, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. It is designed to control the flow of the TR-Rinard Creek and ensure water availability for various purposes, though its primary purpose is classified as 'Other'.

Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is subject to regular inspections, state regulations, and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Despite being rated as having a high risk potential, its condition is currently not assessed or rated. The dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate. Its risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans are not clearly outlined in the available data, suggesting the need for further evaluation and monitoring to mitigate potential hazards.

With its strategic location and vital role in water resource management, Tx No Name No 9 Dam serves as a key infrastructure for the surrounding area. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, it is essential to prioritize the maintenance and monitoring of such structures to safeguard both the environment and the community's water supply. Further research and investment in risk management strategies are crucial to ensure the long-term sustainability and resilience of this important dam.

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.
