Summary
This Earth-type dam, completed in 1985, stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 1200 feet, with a storage capacity of 750 acre-feet. The pond serves a primary purpose of 'Other' and is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
Despite its relatively small size, Reclamation Pond 007 poses a high risk (2) according to the risk assessment. The dam has not been rated for its condition, and the last inspection took place in April 1995. The spillway type is listed as 'None', indicating potential limitations in managing water discharge during high flow events. With no emergency action plan (EAP) prepared or updated, there is a need for improved risk management measures and emergency preparedness for this water resource.
As an enthusiast in water resources and climate, Reclamation Pond 007 presents an intriguing case study for understanding the management and potential risks associated with small dams. With its location near Lambs Creek and the oversight of the TCEQ, there is a need for ongoing monitoring and assessment to ensure the safety and integrity of this structure. As climate change continues to impact water resources, proactive measures and updated emergency plans will be essential for mitigating risks and ensuring the sustainability of Reclamation Pond 007.

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.
