Summary
Completed in 2007, this earth dam stands at a height of 38.4 feet and has a storage capacity of 2204 acre-feet. The reservoir covers a surface area of 98.5 acres and is fed by Hornica Creek, with a drainage area of 19.56 square miles.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Two Bobcats Dam and Reservoir boasts a spillway width of 160 feet and an uncontrolled outlet gate to regulate water discharge. Although the dam is rated as having a moderate risk level, with no available hazard potential assessment, it remains a vital infrastructure for the region. The last inspection in April 2011 did not provide a condition assessment, but the dam continues to function as a critical water resource for the area.
While the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are not specified, its presence contributes to the overall water management system in the area. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the role of structures like Two Bobcats Dam and Reservoir is crucial in ensuring sustainable water usage and environmental protection in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
