Stonebridge Lake 11 D Dam dam
Stonebridge Lake 11 D Dam
Stonebridge Lake 11 D Dam, located in McKinney, Texas, is a privately owned structure designed by Huitt-Zollars Inc. 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.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Stonebridge Lake 11 D Dam
Where does the data for Stonebridge Lake 11 D Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
