Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 372 feet, providing a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Brushy Creek, the dam serves multiple functions including recreation, but does not have a spillway and is not regulated by the state.
Despite its modest size and purpose, Tx No Name No 31 Dam poses a high risk due to its condition not being rated and the absence of detailed risk management measures. With no recent inspection data available, the dam's hazard potential remains undisclosed, emphasizing the need for enhanced monitoring and maintenance protocols. The dam's location within the Fort Worth District and association with Representative John Ratcliffe (R) underscores its significance within the region's water resource infrastructure.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in Texas will find Tx No Name No 31 Dam to be a unique yet potentially vulnerable structure that plays a crucial role in local fire protection and recreational activities. While its operational history remains largely unknown, the dam's presence on Brushy Creek highlights the interconnectedness of water management systems in the region and the importance of proactive risk assessment and management to ensure the safety and sustainability of such critical infrastructure.

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.
