Ken,
When we were talking the other day, you mentioned some concerns about a proposed gas well near North Lake
Dam. We recalled later that the TCEQ’s new rules on dam safety have a provision about that which may be
helpful to you. Is the well within 200’ of either embankment or the spillway?
299.16 (d) When a person or company proposes one of the following activities near the owner’s dam, the
owner shall request that the person or company have a professional engineer perform an evaluation to
determine if the safety of the dam is compromised. The person or company shall submit the evaluation report
to the executive director for review and the owner before any work is performed for a proposal to:
(1) dredge the reservoir within 200 feet of the dam;
(2) install a utility line in the dam or in the spillways;
(3) construct a road across the dam or spillways or within 200 feet of the dam;
(4) drill oil or gas wells or perform oil or gas exploration within 200 feet of the dam and
spillways; or
(5) blast within 1/2 mile of the dam.
Thanks
