Summary
Built in 1977, this earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and has a length of 850 feet, providing a storage capacity of 238 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Crooked Creek and falls under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite its relatively small size, Waggoner Lake No 6 Dam plays a crucial role in the local community by safeguarding against fire hazards and providing water for livestock. However, with a high hazard potential and a lack of available condition assessment, there are concerns about its long-term safety and structural integrity. It is important for stakeholders to prioritize regular inspections and risk management measures to ensure the continued functionality and safety of this essential water resource.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is imperative to monitor and advocate for the proper maintenance and oversight of dams like Waggoner Lake No 6 Dam. By staying informed about the condition and regulations surrounding these structures, we can help mitigate risks and protect both the environment and nearby communities from the potential consequences of dam failures.

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.
