Summary
With a height of 13 feet and a length of 575 feet, this dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. Situated on Marcelinas Creek, the dam does not have a spillway and is not regulated by the state, but does undergo regular inspections.
Although the condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," the dam has a hazard potential of "Not Available" and a risk assessment rating of "High (2)." Despite the lack of specific information on associated structures or inspection dates, the dam's location on Marcelinas Creek presents a potential risk for flooding and water resource management. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plans are not readily available, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and assessment.
In the realm of water resource and climate management, Tx No Name No 17 Dam serves as a critical infrastructure in Wilson County, Texas. As a privately owned structure with limited state regulation, this dam presents both challenges and opportunities for ensuring proper maintenance and risk mitigation. Further data and assessments are needed to fully understand the potential impact of this dam on water resources and climate resilience in the region.

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.
