Summary
Completed in 1988, the dam serves as a crucial structure on Pin Oak Creek, with a maximum storage capacity of 1640 acre-feet and a normal storage of 87 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," indicating its importance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Tumco Sediment Pond Dam B 62 has been deemed state-regulated and approved for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With an uncontrolled spillway and two outlet gates, the dam plays a vital role in flood control and water storage for the surrounding area. Despite being rated as "Not Available" in terms of hazard potential and "Not Rated" in condition assessment, the dam is classified as having a moderate risk level (3), emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures.
Overall, Tumco Sediment Pond Dam B 62 stands as a testament to the importance of proper dam infrastructure in water resource management. As a significant structure on Pin Oak Creek, the dam plays a crucial role in storing water, controlling floods, and supporting the local ecosystem. With its history of construction and regulatory oversight, the dam serves as a key component in ensuring water security and climate resilience for the community it serves.

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.
