Summary
Hood Site 6 is a privately owned water resource structure located in Coryell, Texas, designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1994. This earth dam, with a height of 25 feet and a length of 597 feet, serves multiple purposes including debris control and storage with a capacity of 156 acre-feet. Situated on Tr- Table Rock Creek, this structure has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level.
Managed and funded by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Ft. Hood Site 6 plays a crucial role in water conservation and management in the region. With a surface area of 11 acres and a drainage area of 0.46 square miles, this dam helps regulate water flow and prevent potential flooding events. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the structure has not undergone recent inspections, and its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Available".
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ft. Hood Site 6 offers a fascinating look into the intersection of infrastructure, environmental conservation, and risk management. As part of the larger Fort Worth District, this earth dam stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to balance the needs of water storage, flood control, and ecosystem protection in the state of Texas. Its location on Tr- Table Rock Creek underscores the importance of these structures in maintaining water quality and quantity in the region, making it a valuable asset for water resource enthusiasts to study and appreciate.

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.
