Summary
Built in 1993 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and stretches 383 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 123 acre-feet and a surface area of 11 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in supporting the local ecosystem and providing recreational opportunities for the community.
Situated on TR-FLAG SPRING CREEK, this dam is under the jurisdiction of the state of Texas and is regulated for both permitting and inspection purposes. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of the structure. With a risk assessment of 'High (2)', the dam's risk management measures are currently unspecified, emphasizing the importance of implementing proactive strategies to mitigate potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding area.
As a key component of the Fort Worth District and with Congressman Mac Thornberry representing the district, Jw Quick Pond Dam serves as a vital resource for water management and conservation efforts in the region. With its significant impact on the local ecosystem and community, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management practices in the face of climate change and evolving environmental challenges.

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.
