Summary
With a height of 14 feet and a length of 520 feet, this dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet. The dam impounds the waters of TR-Pin Oak Creek, providing a surface area of 9 acres for recreational activities while also offering flood protection for the surrounding area.
Despite being privately owned, Kasper Estate Lake Dam is permitted by the state of Texas and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. While the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with an outlet gate for controlled release of water. The hazard potential of the dam is considered "Not Available," and its condition assessment is currently "Not Rated." With a risk assessment rating of "High (2)," it is crucial for the owners to implement appropriate risk management measures to maintain the safety of the dam and surrounding community.
In the event of an emergency, it is important for the owners of Kasper Estate Lake Dam to have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, although details regarding its preparation and revision are currently unavailable. With its proximity to residential areas and the potential for high risk, it is essential for the owners to ensure that the dam meets all safety guidelines and that appropriate measures are taken to mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation. Kasper Estate Lake Dam stands as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring of water infrastructure to protect both water resources and the surrounding environment.

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.
