Completed in 1981 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 21 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Chambers Creek. With a storage capacity of 220 acre-feet, it plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flood hazards.
Despite its age, the dam's condition remains unrated, and its hazard potential is not available. However, a risk assessment has classified it as having a high risk level (2). The dam lacks a spillway and outlet gates, indicating a potential need for updates or modifications to enhance its functionality and safety measures. While certain details such as inspection frequency and emergency action plans are not readily available, the dam's location within the Fort Worth District underlines its significance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 124b Dam presents a valuable case study in dam infrastructure and risk management strategies.
