Summary

Completed in 1969, this private-owned dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a serene oasis for visitors to enjoy. With a height of 16 feet and a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the TR-WEIRS CREEK, ensuring water availability for both human and environmental needs.

Operated under the oversight of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Lake Ann Dam represents a vital link in the state's water infrastructure. Despite its age, the dam's structural integrity remains sound, with a high hazard potential rating emphasizing the need for regular inspections and monitoring. With no spillway and limited emergency preparedness measures in place, the risk of potential hazards underscores the importance of ongoing risk management and maintenance efforts to safeguard both the dam and surrounding communities.

As a key feature of the Fort Worth District, Lake Ann Dam stands as a symbol of the intricate balance between water resource utilization and climate resilience. With its earth core design and buttress foundation, the dam exemplifies the engineering ingenuity required to harness natural resources while mitigating potential risks. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the preservation and sustainable management of Lake Ann Dam serve as a reminder of the critical role that infrastructure plays in supporting both human needs and environmental well-being in an ever-changing climate landscape.

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.
