Summary
Completed in 1970, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 753 feet, providing water supply and recreational opportunities for the surrounding area. Situated on the TR-CONCHO River, this dam is an essential resource for the local community.
With a storage capacity of 151 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 97 acre-feet, Wt Schneider Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. Despite not having a spillway, the dam's design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service ensure its stability and functionality. While the hazard potential is labeled as "Not Available," the risk assessment indicates a high level, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance and management to mitigate any potential risks associated with the dam.
As a key feature in the Fort Worth District, Wt Schneider Dam contributes to the overall water supply and recreational activities in the area, highlighting the significance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience. With its history dating back to the 1970s, this dam continues to serve the community while facing challenges related to maintenance and risk management. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the role of structures like Wt Schneider Dam is essential in ensuring the long-term sustainability of our water systems.

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.
