Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 59 feet and spans a length of 1220 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1098 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 67 acre-feet and a surface area of 10.5 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from flooding.
Managed by the local government and regulated by TCEQ, Clear Creek WS SCS Gss 6 is a state-regulated structure that undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and functionality. Although the hazard potential and condition assessment are currently not available, the risk assessment indicates a high risk level of 2. Despite the lack of specific information on emergency preparedness and risk management measures, this dam serves as a key asset in mitigating flood risks in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Clear Creek WS SCS Gss 6 presents a fascinating case study of flood risk reduction infrastructure in Texas. With its strategic location on TR-Clear Creek and the involvement of USDA NRCS in its design, this dam exemplifies the importance of proactive measures in managing water resources and climate-related challenges. As efforts continue to monitor and maintain the structure, this dam remains a significant component of the region's resilience against natural disasters.

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.
