Summary

Completed in 1988, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and stretches 1,000 feet in length, providing irrigation for the golf course. With a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the course's water supply.

Regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Twin Wells Golf Course Irrigation Lake Levee is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 56 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 39 acre-feet. Despite its high risk assessment rating of 2, the structure's condition remains unrated, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in managing water resources for irrigation purposes.

Situated along the West Fork Trinity River, this levee plays a key role in water management for the Twin Wells Golf Course. Although lacking a spillway, the dam features one outlet gate to control water flow. With its strategic location and critical function in providing irrigation water, the Twin Wells Golf Course Irrigation Lake Levee stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

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.
