Summary
Built in 1989 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam with a height of 20.5 feet serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Kings Creek. With a maximum storage capacity of 888 acre-feet and a normal storage of 89 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
The dam, which is regulated by the TCEQ and subject to state inspection and enforcement, features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 52 feet. Its construction was funded by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and it is under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District. Despite not having a hazard potential rating, the dam is assessed to have a moderate risk level. In the event of an emergency, the dam is equipped with slide and uncontrolled outlet gates for water release.
Although the condition of the Cedar Creek WS SCS Site 67a Dam is not rated, its design and functionality contribute significantly to water resource management and flood control efforts in the region. With its strategic location and capacity to mitigate flood risks, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for safeguarding communities and ecosystems along the TR-Kings Creek in Kaufman, Texas.

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.
