Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and spans a length of 1631 feet, providing a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 11 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-BIG BRUSHY CREEK, within the jurisdiction of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), ensuring state-regulated inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes are in place.
With a surface area of 2.3 acres and a drainage area of 0.31 square miles, Cedar Creek WS SCS Gss 102 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area, particularly along the Big Brushy Creek. Despite its high hazard potential and risk assessment rating of 2 (high), the condition assessment of the dam remains unrated. The absence of a spillway, locks, or significant modifications showcases the dam's original design and construction integrity, underlining its importance in managing water resources and climate-related challenges in the region.
As a key infrastructure owned by the local government, Cedar Creek WS SCS Gss 102 exemplifies the collaboration between federal and state agencies in safeguarding the community against flooding events. Its strategic location, design features, and regulatory oversight contribute to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts, highlighting the significance of sustainable infrastructure development for a changing climate scenario.

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.
