Summary

Built in 1969, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 884 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. Despite its relatively small size, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural irrigation in the area.

With a spillway width of zero and no outlet gates, the dam does not have the capacity for flood control measures. However, it serves as a vital resource for fire protection, stock watering, and small fish ponds in addition to irrigation. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, but it is classified as having a high risk potential, indicating the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued functionality and safety.

Situated on the Rush Creek tributary, Lesley Lake No 2 Dam is part of the Fort Worth District and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Texas. While it is not regulated by the state, the dam does require permitting and inspection to ensure compliance with safety standards. As a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of 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.
