This private Earth dam, with a height of 18 feet and a length of 425 feet, has a storage capacity of 265 acre-feet and covers an area of 11.8 acres. Despite being designated as having a high risk level (2), the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment are currently not available or rated.
With no spillway and limited information on its emergency action plan and risk management measures, Tumco Dam Di-16 presents a significant challenge for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam, associated with TR-Mill Creek and under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District, lacks important safety features and regulatory oversight. As a private structure, its condition and potential impact on the surrounding area remain uncertain, highlighting the need for further assessment and monitoring.
Given its location and limited data availability, Tumco Dam Di-16 raises concerns about its overall safety and ability to withstand extreme weather events. With a risk assessment indicating a high risk level, there is a pressing need for comprehensive inspection, risk management measures, and emergency preparedness to ensure the dam's resilience and the protection of downstream communities and ecosystems in the face of changing climate patterns.
