Summary

This earth dam, completed in 1988, serves primarily for flood risk reduction but also supports irrigation and recreation purposes. With a height of 28 feet and a length of 800 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 13.3 acres. It is situated along the TR-Wilson Creek, within the Fort Worth District, and is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 209 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 3504 cubic feet per second. Its condition assessment as of October 2017 rated it as fair, with a moderate risk level. Despite not having a Hazard Potential rating available, the dam has undergone regular inspections every 5 years, with the last one conducted in November 2016. While the emergency action plan status and risk management measures were not specified, the dam is considered to meet regulatory guidelines and has not required any significant modifications since its completion.

Stonebridge Lake 11 D Dam stands as a vital infrastructure for managing water resources in the region, ensuring flood protection, irrigation support, and recreational opportunities for the community. Its strategic location, design features, and regulatory oversight contribute to its role in enhancing water security and climate resilience in Collin County, Texas. Enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate adaptation can appreciate the significance of this dam in mitigating risks and promoting sustainable water usage in the area.

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.
