Summary
This private earth dam, designed by the USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 224 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 35 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management for the surrounding area.
Despite its age, V Flowers Dam 4 has not been rated for its condition, and its hazard potential is currently listed as "Not Available." However, the risk assessment categorizes it as having a high risk factor, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance. While the dam does not have a spillway, it does have one outlet gate for water release. Its location along TR-HOME RANCH CREEK in the Tulsa District makes it an important structure for the local ecosystem and water supply.
As a key feature in the region's water infrastructure, V Flowers Dam 4 highlights the importance of effective dam management and maintenance in ensuring water security and environmental preservation. With its primary purpose of serving the community's needs for fire protection and livestock watering, this dam underscores the vital role that small-scale structures play in sustaining water resources in arid regions like Texas. As climate change continues to impact water availability, the upkeep of dams like V Flowers Dam 4 becomes increasingly crucial for sustainable water management practices.

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.
