Star Golf Partners Pond 1 dam
Star Golf Partners Pond 1
Star Golf Partners Pond 1 is a private pond located in Williamson, Texas, with a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres. The dam, primarily used for purposes other than flood control or irrigation, is of the earth type with a height of 14 feet and a length of 200 feet. The pond is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite being a relatively small structure, Star Golf Partners Pond 1 poses a high risk (2) due to its lack of spillway and limited capacity for discharge. The condition of the dam is not rated, and there is no emergency action plan in place. The hazard potential is listed as not available, signaling a potential need for further assessment and risk management measures. In the event of an emergency, the pond has one outlet gate for water release.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Star Golf Partners Pond 1 presents an interesting case study in private dam management and regulatory oversight. The pond's location in a high-risk area and its limited capacity for discharge highlight the importance of proper design, maintenance, and emergency preparedness in the face of potential hazards. As water resources continue to face challenges from climate change and increased demand, the management of structures like Star Golf Partners Pond 1 will be crucial in ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water systems.

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 Star Golf Partners Pond 1
Where does the data for Star Golf Partners Pond 1 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.
