Tx No Name No 33 Dam dam
Tx No Name No 33 Dam
Tx No Name No 33 Dam, located in Fannin, Texas, is a privately owned structure completed in 1977 with a primary purpose of providing fire protection, stock watering, and serving as a small fish pond. The earth-type dam stands at a height of 23 feet and stretches 800 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. It is situated on TR-Freeman Creek and is regulated by the state with permitting and inspection requirements in place.
Despite its modest size and purpose, Tx No Name No 33 Dam has been classified as having a high risk potential, indicating the need for careful management and monitoring. The dam lacks a spillway and has not been rated for its current condition, raising concerns about its ability to withstand potential hazards. With no designated emergency action plan or inundation maps prepared, there is a need for increased safety measures and risk assessment to ensure the surrounding area remains protected.
As an important structure for local water resources and climate regulation, Tx No Name No 33 Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proper dam management and maintenance. With its unique design and purpose, it represents a vital part of the infrastructure supporting the community's fire protection, stock watering, and recreational needs. Efforts to enhance its safety and risk management protocols will be crucial in safeguarding both the dam and the surrounding environment from potential threats.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Tx No Name No 33 Dam
Where does the data for Tx No Name No 33 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
