Summary

This earth-type dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a length of 362 feet, providing a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-STOVER CREEK, the dam serves as a vital resource for water management in the region.

Operated under the regulatory oversight of the TCEQ, Twin Arrow No 3 Dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water supply for the surrounding area. With a high-risk assessment rating, the dam's condition has not been officially rated, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Despite the lack of a spillway, this dam remains an essential component of the local water infrastructure, contributing to the sustainable management of water resources in the region.

As a key feature in the Fort Worth District's water management system, Twin Arrow No 3 Dam showcases the collaborative efforts between private owners, government agencies, and designers to address water resource challenges. With its historical significance and ongoing role in safeguarding against floods and ensuring water availability, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of climate change and increasing water demands.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
