Summary
This private earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a structural height of 28 feet, with a length of 970 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 226 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 212 acre-feet.
Despite being a non-federally regulated structure, Blackmon Farms Reservoir No 3 Dam plays a crucial role in providing water resources for irrigation in the region. The dam spans the TR-Sulphur River and is situated in the Fort Worth District. While the dam currently has a high risk assessment rating, its condition remains unrated, with the last inspection conducted in 1985.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Blackmon Farms Reservoir No 3 Dam to be a vital infrastructure for agricultural water supply in the area. As a privately owned dam, it showcases the importance of sustainable water management practices for irrigation purposes. The dam's location and design highlight the intersection of water resource management and climate considerations in providing essential water resources for agricultural activities in Texas.

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.
