Summary
Completed in 1966, this dam stands at a structural height of 8 feet, with a length of 700 feet. It has a storage capacity of 109 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 22 acres. The dam is situated on the TR-COMMANCHE CREEK and is under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite its age, the condition of D Camp Lake Dam is currently not rated, and it poses a high risk (rated 2) due to its hazard potential and lack of available risk assessment information. The dam does not have a spillway and is not regulated by the state. It has one outlet gate and has not been modified in recent years. The dam's emergency action plan status, inspection frequency, and contact information are also not readily available.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, D Camp Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. With its unique design features and lack of certain regulatory measures, there is a need for further evaluation of the dam's safety and potential impact on the surrounding environment. As the debate over dam safety and maintenance continues, the story of D Camp Lake Dam underscores the importance of proactive monitoring and management of critical water infrastructure.

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.
