Sedimentation Pond No 24 Reservoir Report
Last Updated: March 10, 2026
Sedimentation Pond No 24, located in Jewett, Texas, is a privately owned water resource structure that plays a crucial role in managing sediment and water quality in the area.
Summary
This Earth-type dam, completed in 1989, stands at a height of 27.2 feet and has a storage capacity of 1,616 acre-feet. The pond covers an area of 84 acres and is situated along Silver Creek, within the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Sedimentation Pond No 24 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safe and effective operation. The dam has a spillway width of 727 feet and can discharge up to 37,290 cubic feet of water per second. Despite not having a hazard potential rating available, the structure is regularly monitored and inspected every five years to assess its condition and address any potential risks.
While the structure's hazard potential and condition assessment are not currently rated, Sedimentation Pond No 24 serves an important purpose in sediment control and water management in the Leon County area. With its significant storage capacity and strategic location along Silver Creek, this privately owned sedimentation pond plays a vital role in protecting water quality and managing sediment flow in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
