Summary

Completed in 1957, this private-owned Earth dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes, providing water for agriculture and other essential needs in the area. With a height of 17 feet and a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in ensuring water supply for various activities.

Situated on the TR-North Bosque River, the Hall Lake Dam is a key structure in the water management system of the region. Despite not having a spillway, the dam's design and construction reflect a strategic approach to water storage and distribution. With a risk assessment rating of High (2), the dam's condition and maintenance are vital aspects that require attention to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the surrounding community.

As climate change impacts water resources, the Hall Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices. With a focus on irrigation and water supply, this dam showcases the intersection of human infrastructure with natural ecosystems, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and maintenance to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

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.
