Red Berry Estates Dam dam
Red Berry Estates Dam
Red Berry Estates Dam, located in Bexar, Texas, is a state-regulated dam situated on a tributary of Salado Creek. Owned by the local government, this dam has a storage capacity of 138 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.07 square miles. While the dam's hazard potential is labeled as "Not Available," its risk assessment is classified as "High (2)," indicating the need for careful monitoring and management.
Despite not having a designated primary purpose or specific dam type, Red Berry Estates Dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The dam features one outlet gate and is not associated with any other structures. While the condition of the dam is currently not rated, its risk management measures, emergency action plan, and inundation maps status are listed as not available. With its location in a high-risk area, it is essential for water resource and climate enthusiasts to stay informed about the potential risks associated with Red Berry Estates Dam.
In conclusion, Red Berry Estates Dam serves as a critical infrastructure for water storage in the region, yet its high risk classification underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment. As a state-regulated structure with a significant storage capacity, this dam warrants attention from stakeholders and officials to implement necessary risk management measures and emergency preparedness protocols. For enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate resilience, the case of Red Berry Estates Dam serves as a reminder of the intricate balance between water infrastructure development and the potential hazards posed by natural disasters.

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 Red Berry Estates Dam
Where does the data for Red Berry Estates 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.
