Tascosa Country Club North Reservoir in Potter County, Texas, is a privately owned irrigation reservoir that was completed in 1987 by designer Keys & Associates.


Summary

This earth dam structure stands at a height of 27 feet with a hydraulic height of 27 feet and a structural height of 33 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 32 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 22 acre-feet, primarily serving the purpose of irrigation for the surrounding area.

Located along TR-West Amarillo Creek, this reservoir plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural activities and recreational purposes. While the hazard potential and condition assessment of the dam are not currently rated, it has been regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The risk assessment for the reservoir is considered high, signaling the importance of ongoing risk management measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure.

With its strategic location and essential role in water resource management, Tascosa Country Club North Reservoir stands as a vital asset in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the significance of such infrastructure in sustaining agricultural practices and supporting recreational activities while also prioritizing risk management and regulatory compliance to ensure the longevity and safety of the reservoir for future generations.

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.
