Summary
Built in 1960 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet with a length of 656 feet, offering a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-RIO GRANDE river, the dam has a surface area of 17 acres and drains a 0.5 square mile area.
Despite being a privately owned structure, Lamesa Ranch Dam No 1-60 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. With no spillway and a hazard potential rated as "Not Available," the dam's risk assessment is deemed high. Although the condition assessment is not rated, the dam remains a key asset for water conservation and irrigation purposes in the area. As a designated fire protection and stock pond facility, the dam contributes to sustainable water management practices in the region.
With a strong focus on water resource management and climate resilience, Lamesa Ranch Dam No 1-60 stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water infrastructure. While not under federal jurisdiction, the dam undergoes state inspections and permitting processes to ensure its structural integrity and operational effectiveness. As a critical component of the local water supply system, the dam's presence highlights the need for continued investment in water infrastructure to address growing environmental challenges and ensure water security for future generations.

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.
