Summary

This private dam on Kile Branch has a primary purpose listed as "Other" and is classified as an Earth dam with a buttress core type. The dam has a storage capacity of 260 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 175 acre-feet.

The dam's spillway is uncontrolled and 53 feet wide, with a maximum discharge of 2 cubic feet per second. The condition assessment conducted in June 2017 rated the dam as "Fair" with a moderate risk level. The dam has two uncontrolled outlet gates and is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. Despite its fair condition, the dam presents a potential hazard, although specifics are listed as "Not Available."

Overall, Toler Lake Dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the area, and its regulatory oversight ensures compliance with safety standards. Its location in the Fort Worth District and the involvement of the TCEQ in its management highlight the importance of this dam in maintaining water resources and mitigating potential risks related to climate and water management.

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.
