Tx No Name No 34 Dam dam
Tx No Name No 34 Dam
Tx No Name No 34 Dam, located in Franklin, Texas, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. Built in 1977, this earth dam stands at 21 feet high and stretches 900 feet in length. It has a storage capacity of 201 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 14 acres. Despite not having a spillway, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate.
The dam, situated on the TR-White Oak Creek, falls under private ownership and is not regulated by the state. With a high risk assessment rating, the dam's hazard potential is not available. Although its condition has not been rated, the dam is classified as not meeting guidelines for emergency action plans. It is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the condition of this structure to ensure public safety and prevent any potential hazards in the future.
In the realm of water resource management and climate resilience, Tx No Name No 34 Dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for the local community. As a private-owned structure, it plays a vital role in providing fire protection and supporting various water-related activities. With its strategic location on TR-White Oak Creek, this earth dam stands as a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing nature's resources. However, given its high-risk assessment and lack of regulatory oversight, it is imperative to implement proper monitoring and maintenance measures to ensure the dam's structural integrity and prevent any adverse environmental impacts.
Dam data reference
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 34 Dam
Where does the data for Tx No Name No 34 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.
