Majestic Lake Dam dam
Majestic Lake Dam
Majestic Lake Dam, located in Montgomery, Texas, stands as a testament to engineering excellence and environmental stewardship. Completed in 2004, this earth dam spans 1,578 feet and reaches a height of 31.1 feet, creating a reservoir with a maximum storage capacity of 514 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of recreation, offering visitors a serene oasis for fishing, boating, and enjoying the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
Managed by private owners and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Majestic Lake Dam has undergone structural and hydraulic modifications in 2009 to enhance its safety and efficiency. The dam's spillway, with a width of 476 feet, allows for controlled water release in case of excess flow, ensuring the safety of downstream communities. Despite its fair condition assessment, the dam poses a moderate risk, prompting ongoing risk management measures to safeguard its integrity and the surrounding environment.
With its picturesque location on Tri Mound Creek and proximity to Fort Worth District, Majestic Lake Dam serves as a vital water resource for the region while offering recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, we appreciate the importance of sustainable dam management and the critical role that structures like Majestic Lake Dam play in maintaining ecosystem balance and providing recreational enjoyment for generations to come.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Majestic Lake Dam
Where does the data for Majestic Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
