Summary

Completed in 2001, the dam stands at a height of 23 feet and spans a length of 670 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and a surface area of 8.61 acres. The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.

The dam's spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 4 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 120 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as having a fair condition assessment in 2014, the dam poses a moderate risk level with a hazard potential that is not currently available. The emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures for the dam are not specified in the data, indicating a need for further information to assess its readiness for potential emergencies.

Overall, Pd3 1 East Lake Dam 1 serves as a vital structure for recreational activities in the area while also highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and water resources. As climate and water resource enthusiasts, it is essential to stay informed about the condition and regulatory oversight of dams like Pd3 1 East Lake Dam 1 to promote sustainable water management practices and mitigate potential risks associated with these structures.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
