Summary
Built in 1992 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other," with a storage capacity of 142 acre-feet. Despite being a non-federal structure, it is subject to state permitting and inspection requirements to ensure its safety and functionality.
The dam, designed with a buttress core type, has a risk assessment rating of "High (2)" due to its potential hazard level, although its condition is currently not rated. With a surface area of 9 acres and a drainage area of 165 square miles, Fuller Lake Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. While it does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate to regulate water flow. Although not federally regulated, this dam is still a vital component of the local water infrastructure.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Fuller Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned structure that plays a significant role in managing water resources in Leon County, Texas. With its high risk assessment rating and limited hazard potential information, this dam highlights the importance of regular inspection and maintenance to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the integrity of the water supply system. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like Fuller Lake Dam will be essential in adapting to and mitigating the effects of a changing climate on water resources.

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.
