Summary
Constructed in 1978 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet. Despite being classified as not rated in terms of condition assessment, it poses a high risk (2) according to the data available. The dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate.
The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other," with its exact purpose and design specified as such. It is not regulated by the state but does require permitting and inspections. The structure is not associated with any other structures and is not under the jurisdiction of the state. Overall, Ab Webb Gss is a significant water resource infrastructure within the region, contributing to the management of water resources along the Canadian River.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ab Webb Gss presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam with a unique design and purpose in Texas. Its location along the TR-Canadian River adds to its importance in the local water management system. While the dam's condition assessment and risk level warrant further investigation, its construction by the USDA NRCS reflects a commitment to sustainable water resource management in the area. As efforts to address climate change and water scarcity intensify, understanding the role of structures like Ab Webb Gss becomes increasingly crucial for ensuring the resilience of water resources in the face of environmental challenges.

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.
