Summary

Completed in 1968, this Earth dam with a structural height of 15 feet and a length of 1100 feet serves as a vital water resource for the region. With a storage capacity of 300 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 300 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts.

Despite its age, Waggoner Ranch Lake No 6 Dam remains in good condition with a hazard potential that is not available. The dam is not rated for its condition but is considered to have a high risk level (2). State permitting and inspection are in place for this private-owned structure, ensuring that safety measures are upheld. While there is no spillway type listed, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate to regulate water flow.

The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," indicating its versatility in serving various functions. It is associated with the TR-Beaver Creek river/stream and falls under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, Waggoner Ranch Lake No 6 Dam stands as a critical infrastructure for water resource management in the region.

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. 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

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, 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.
