Summary

and completed in 1982 to serve as a flood risk reduction measure along TR-Oaks Creek. This earth dam, standing at a height of 33 feet and stretching 1900 feet in length, has a storage capacity of 481 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 91 acre-feet. The dam also serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, in addition to flood risk reduction.

Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Lakeview WS SCS Site 13 Dam has had a fair condition assessment as of April 2021, with a moderate risk level. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway width of 52 feet can handle a maximum discharge of 2 cubic feet per second, ensuring effective water management during high flow events. The dam has not been modified in recent years and is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety.

Overall, Lakeview WS SCS Site 13 Dam has played a crucial role in protecting the local community from the risks of flooding and continues to be a key asset in water resource management in the region. Its location, design, and multi-purpose functionality highlight its importance in maintaining water security and climate resilience for the area.

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.
