Pilot Grove Creek Ws Scs Site 54rev Dam dam
Pilot Grove Creek Ws Scs Site 54rev Dam
Pilot Grove Creek WS SCS Site 54rev Dam, located in Hunt County, Texas, is a crucial structure designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the TR-LEE CREEK. Completed in 1988, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a storage capacity of 373 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding areas from potential flooding events.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Pilot Grove Creek WS SCS Site 54rev Dam has a high risk assessment rating of 2. While its hazard potential is not available and its condition has not been rated, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate. Despite lacking certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, this dam remains a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the region.
Overall, Pilot Grove Creek WS SCS Site 54rev Dam serves as a key component in the local water resource infrastructure, providing flood risk reduction benefits and serving as a critical structure in the area's water management system. As climate change continues to impact the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, the role of dams like this one becomes increasingly important in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from potential flood hazards.
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 Pilot Grove Creek Ws Scs Site 54rev Dam
Where does the data for Pilot Grove Creek Ws Scs Site 54rev 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.
