Summary
This private earth dam, with a height of 21 feet and a length of 550 feet, is designed with a buttress core type and serves as a crucial water resource for the surrounding area. With a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and a normal storage of 19 acre-feet, the dam plays a vital role in managing water supply in the region.
Situated on TR-CALAVERAS CREEK and under the jurisdiction of the Galveston District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Eagle Creek Ranch Dam No 2 lacks a spillway and has a hazard potential that is currently not available. Despite being in high-risk category 2, the dam's condition assessment is not rated, and it does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. With no recent inspection data available, there is a need for increased monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety and efficiency of this essential water structure.
Although the dam's risk assessment is high, with no recent inspection data or emergency preparedness measures in place, there is a pressing need for improved monitoring and maintenance efforts. As a vital resource for fire protection, livestock, and small fish pond maintenance, Eagle Creek Ranch Dam No 2 plays a crucial role in water management in Wilson County, Texas. It is imperative that the appropriate regulatory agencies and owners take necessary steps to ensure the safety and longevity of this important water infrastructure.

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.
