Summary
Standing at a height of 19 feet and a length of 700 feet, this dam has a maximum storage capacity of 426 acre-feet and a normal storage of 60 acre-feet. While it serves a primary purpose of "Other," its design incorporates a Buttress core type and remains unlisted/unknown in terms of foundations.
Despite being state permitted and inspected, Tx No Name No 42 Dam poses a high risk level (2) with a hazard potential that is not available. The dam lacks a spillway and has one outlet gate. With a drainage area of 0 and surface area of 9 acres, this dam holds significant water resources while also presenting potential risks to the surrounding area. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, leaving room for further evaluation and mitigation efforts.
In the realm of water resource management and climate adaptation, Tx No Name No 42 Dam serves as a focal point for understanding the complexities of dam infrastructure in Texas. With its historical completion date and limited data on design specifics, there is a need for enhanced monitoring and risk assessment to ensure the safety and functionality of this crucial water resource structure. As climate change impacts continue to challenge water infrastructure resilience, the strategic management of dams like Tx No Name No 42 becomes essential for safeguarding communities and ecosystems in the face of evolving environmental conditions.

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.
