Summary

Completed in 2010, this dam stands at a height of 28.6 feet and has a storage capacity of 848 acre-feet. It features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 116 feet and is equipped with slide gates and uncontrolled outlets.

Managed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, Sediment Pond Spc 63b is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement. With a moderate risk assessment rating, this structure plays a crucial role in sediment management, especially in a region prone to heavy rainfall and potential flooding. The dam's design and construction reflect a commitment to water resource management and environmental protection in the area.

As a key component in the local water infrastructure, Sediment Pond Spc 63b serves as a vital resource for sediment control and water management in Robertson County. Its strategic location and design contribute to the overall resilience of the region's water resources, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices in dealing with climate-related challenges. With proper regulation and maintenance, this dam continues to play a significant role in protecting the environment and ensuring the safety of nearby communities.

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.
