Summary
Standing at a height of 40 feet and spanning 1640 feet in length, this dam has a storage capacity of 768 acre-feet and serves as a vital resource for the surrounding community. Despite its primary purpose for recreation, the dam is also state regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations.
The dam, situated on the TR-Folsom Creek, plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, providing storage for irrigation, drinking water, and flood control. While it currently holds a high risk assessment rating, with no available condition assessment, the dam remains a key infrastructure for water management in the region. With no spillway and only one outlet gate, the dam's design and functionality are essential for maintaining water levels and ensuring the safety of nearby residents.
As a significant structure in the Fort Worth District and under the oversight of the TCEQ, Tx No Name No 12 Dam represents a vital component of water resource management in Texas. Its history, design, and operational capacity make it a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in understanding the complexities of dam infrastructure and its impact on the surrounding environment.

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.
