Summary
The dam serves primarily as a water supply source, with a storage capacity of 702 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 11,300 cubic feet per second. It stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 1,500 feet in length, making it a vital infrastructure for water management in the area.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state, ensuring its structural integrity and compliance with safety standards. The dam's spillway, with a width of 100 feet, is uncontrolled and features one outlet gate. Despite being rated as "Not Available" for hazard potential and "Not Rated" for condition assessment, the dam poses a moderate risk level according to the data.
With its earth core and buttress design, Greenville Reservoir No 6 Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience in the region. As a key component of the local water supply system, the dam contributes to the sustainable use and conservation of water resources, highlighting the importance of infrastructure in addressing the challenges of water security and climate change.

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.
