Summary
Built in 1982 by USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at 18 feet tall and spans a length of 1168 feet, with a storage capacity of 159 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam is still in good condition and has a high hazard potential, with a risk assessment rating of 2 out of 5.
The dam lacks a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate. It is not regulated by the state but undergoes regular inspections for safety compliance. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," indicating its importance in managing water resources in the area. With a risk assessment of high and a condition assessment not yet rated, Stiles Gss remains a vital structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor in the future.
As a significant part of the water infrastructure in the region, Stiles Gss plays a crucial role in flood control and water management. With its location in Red River, Texas, and proximity to the city of Annona, this dam stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of USDA NRCS. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of structures like Stiles Gss will be essential in ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water supply.

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.
