Stonebridge Lake 12 Dam dam
Stonebridge Lake 12 Dam
Stonebridge Lake 12 Dam, located in Collin County, Texas, was completed in 1988 and serves as a vital structure for flood risk reduction along the TR-Wilson Creek. Managed by a private owner, this earth dam stands at a height of 38 feet and spans 800 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 193 acre-feet. The dam also supports irrigation and recreation activities in the area, showcasing its multi-purpose functionality.
With a spillway width of 127 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 4,800 cubic feet per second, Stonebridge Lake 12 Dam is equipped to handle significant water flow during periods of heavy rainfall. Despite its satisfactory condition assessment as of September 2017, the dam is subject to regular inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, indicating a level 3 hazard potential, although specific risk management measures are not detailed in the available data.
As part of the Fort Worth District, the dam falls under the regulatory authority of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), which oversees its permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Stonebridge Lake 12 Dam presents a compelling case study of infrastructure designed to mitigate flood risks while supporting various water-related activities 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.
- 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 12 Dam
Where does the data for Stonebridge Lake 12 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.
