Summary
This private earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife in the surrounding area. With a storage capacity of 45 acre-feet, it plays a crucial role in fire protection, stock watering, small fish ponds, and recreational activities.
Despite its importance, the dam has not been rated for its condition and there is limited information on its hazard potential. However, its risk assessment is categorized as high, indicating the need for regular inspections and potential risk management measures. The dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with only one outlet gate. Its location on the TR-Hubbard Creek provides essential support to the local ecosystem, highlighting the significance of maintaining and monitoring this structure for the conservation of wildlife and water resources in the area.
Overall, Jackson Brothers Dam No 2 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private owners and governmental agencies in ensuring water resource sustainability and wildlife preservation. As a key feature in the Fort Worth District and a crucial component in the local ecosystem, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible dam management and the need to prioritize the protection of our natural resources in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
