Summary
Designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1974, this earth dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Denton Creek. With a dam height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 45 acre-feet, it plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding area from potential flood hazards.
Despite being classified as having a high risk level, Denton Creek WS SCS Sed Cont Str 9 4a has not been rated for its condition assessment. While the hazard potential is marked as not available, the structure is maintained by state regulatory agencies such as TCEQ, ensuring that it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement standards. With no spillway and one outlet gate, this sediment control structure continues to play a vital role in safeguarding the community from flood events and managing water resources effectively along Denton Creek.
As part of the Tulsa District, Denton Creek WS SCS Sed Cont Str 9 4a stands as a testament to collaborative efforts in water resource management. Its strategic location, design features, and regulatory oversight highlight the importance of infrastructure in mitigating flood risks and ensuring the sustainability of water resources in the region. With a focus on flood risk reduction, this structure remains a key asset in the overall water management strategy for Montague, Texas, and serves as a model for similar projects in the area.

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.
