Summary

This private earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a hydraulic height of 28 feet, with a length of 296 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 60 acre-feet, making it crucial for water resource management in the region.

Despite its age, Morrison Scott and Conrad Dam 4 has not been rated for its condition assessment and its hazard potential is labeled as "Not Available." The risk assessment for the dam is considered high, indicating a need for continued monitoring and potential risk management measures. The dam does not have a spillway and features one outlet gate, further emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and safety for surrounding communities.

As a key structure in the area for fire protection and water storage purposes, Morrison Scott and Conrad Dam 4 plays a vital role in maintaining water resources and supporting local ecosystems. With its location on TR-NW Fork Point Creek and its relatively small drainage area of 1.25 square miles, the dam represents a valuable asset for water supply and conservation efforts in Roberts, Texas.

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. 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

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, 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.
