Summary
This private Earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and stretches 725 feet in length, completed in 1973. With a storage capacity of 68 acre-feet, it provides vital water resources for the surrounding area. Despite its small size, the dam poses a high risk due to its condition assessment being not rated and its hazard potential not available.
Situated on TR-YORK CREEK and under the jurisdiction of the Galveston District, the dam has no spillway and a single outlet gate. It is not regulated by the state but undergoes regular inspections and permitting. The dam's location in Texas makes it susceptible to the effects of climate change, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring its structural integrity. With a risk assessment rating of 'High (2)', the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness require attention to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and water resources.
In conclusion, Tx No Name No 46 Dam plays a crucial role in providing water for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes in Guadalupe, Texas. As a privately owned structure with limited federal involvement, its risk assessment, condition assessment, and emergency preparedness need to be addressed to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the sustainability of water resources in the face of a changing climate. With proper management and oversight, this dam can continue to serve its purpose effectively while safeguarding the surrounding area from water-related risks.

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.
