Summary
Completed in 1965, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a storage capacity of 106 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Brushy Creek, the dam plays a vital role in water management and conservation in the region.
Despite being privately owned, Santa Alina Ranch Lake Dam is regulated by the state of Texas, with regular inspections and permitting in place to ensure its safety and efficiency. With a high hazard potential and a risk assessment rating of 2, it is imperative that proper risk management measures are in place to prevent any potential disasters. The dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate for water release.
Overall, Santa Alina Ranch Lake Dam serves as a significant infrastructure for water storage and management in the area, contributing to the environmental sustainability and climate resilience of the region. Its presence highlights the importance of maintaining and regulating such structures to ensure the safety and well-being of the surrounding communities and ecosystems.

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.
