"politicalPartyId":null, "privateDamId":null, "projectDescription":"The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) completed construction of Belton Dam in December 1954 in accordance with the Flood Control Act, approved 24 July 1946 (Public Law 526, 79th Congress, Second Session), Section 10. Belton Dam was built on the Leon River to reduce the risk of flooding to the downstream Texas cities of Belton, Temple, and adjacent towns and counties. It is located 3 miles north of the City of Belton in Bell County, Texas. The dam consists of an earthen embankment that holds water in the reservoir, tractor type gates that are operated to control water releases at the dam, and an uncontrolled broadcrested weir spillway, which allows water to flow out when water levels within the reservoir become high. The main dam is made up of soil and rock and is approximately 192 feet (a little over 19 stories) high at a crest elevation of 662.2 feet (NAVD88 vertical datum control). The rockfill dike stands 30 feet tall and is 418 feet long. The reservoir is kept at or below the conservation pool elevation of 594.2 feet NAVD88 for most of the year. When heavy rains occur, surface water runoff is stored in the reservoir until the swollen streams and rivers below the dam recede and can handle the release of stored water minimizing loss of life, property, or the environment. Sometimes water must be released to protect the dam\u2019s integrity even though these streams and rivers may have already reached or exceeded their capacity. Although flood risk management is the project\u2019s primary focus, the dam also provides significant water supply to nearby communities and provides unique recreation opportunities. These benefits significantly improve the quality of life in the area.", "riskCharSummary":"Dams do not eliminate all risk of flooding. USACE works to address all types of flood risk associated with the dam. Dams have limited capacity to store water. Water may be released through the dam to manage water levels up or downstream or to relieve pressure on the dam to maintain its structural integrity. Severe weather events that bring inconsistent or larger amounts of water into the system can also lead to dam releases or in some cases overwhelm and lead to issues occurring at a dam. More detail related to this specific dam will be added at a future time.", "riskManagementMeasures":"To lower the risks associated with the dam, inspections and monitoring are performed regularly to ensure the health and safety of the dam. Surveillance and inspections are increased as the lake elevation rises. Normal operation and maintenance are performed regularly to ensure the dam is functioning as designed. The service gates have recently been rehabilitated and are routinely inspected in accordance with USACE guidelines. The performance of Belton Dam is monitored by an instrumentation system and visual inspections, allowing USACE staff to evaluate the dam for changing conditions. In addition, USACE continues to identify and implement interim risk reduction measures such as updating, evaluating, and maintaining the current instrumentation program; providing needed maintenance and repairs; and stockpiling materials for emergency flood fighting. The USACE, Fort Worth District personnel work closely with local emergency managers to conduct annual emergency exercises with state and local response teams, provide support for local evacuation plans and updates, and obtain input on Belton Dam Emergency Action Plan annual updates. Risks associated with Belton Dam are communicated annually with stakeholders and emergency managers.", "riverName":"LEON RIVER", "separateStructuresCount":0, "sourceAgency":"US Army Corps of Engineers", "spillwayTypeId":3, "spillwayWidth":1300, "stateFedId":"TX00002", "stateRegulatoryAgency":null, "stateRegulatedId":0, "structuralHeight":192, "submitDate":"2023-02-24T00:00:00.000Z", "surfaceArea":12300, "volume":6060000, "widthOfLocks":0, "secondaryWidthOfLocks":null, "yearCompleted":1954, "congDist":"Congressional District 31, Texas", "city":"BELTON", "county":"Bell", "aiannh":null, "websiteUrl":"https://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/belton/", "coreTypeIds":"3", "damTypeIds":"8", "fedConstructionIds":"1", "fedDesignIds":"1", "fedFundingIds":"1", "fedInspectionIds":"1", "fedOperationIds":"1", "fedOtherIds":"1", "fedOwnerIds":"1", "fedRegulatoryIds":"1", "formerNames":null, "foundationTypeIds":"1;3", "nonFederalDamOnFederalId":0, "designerNames":"CESWF", "otherNames":null, "ownerNames":"USACE - Fort Worth District", "ownerTypeIds":"3", "primaryDamTypeId":8, "primaryOwnerTypeId":3, "primaryPurposeId":9, "purposeIds":"9;4;5;8", "dsacId":4, "femaRegion":"6", "lastEapExcerDate":"2025-02-12T12:00:00.000Z", "dataUpdated":"2025-07-09T12:00:00.000Z", "usaceDistrict":"Fort Worth District", "noConsequencesId":0, "secretaryAgricultureBuiltId":null, "nrcsWatershedAuthorizationId":null, "isAssociatedStructureId":"No", "fedRegulatedId":"Yes", "inundationNidAddedId":1, "damStatusId":2, "huc06":"120702", "doi_region":"ART", "doi_region_name":"Arkansas-Rio Grande-Texas Gulf", "doi_region_number":6 }, "id":170048, "links":[ { "type":"application/json", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=json" }, { "type":"text/html", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=html" }, { "rel":"self", "type":"application/geo+json", "title":"This document as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/170048?f=json" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"application/ld+json", "title":"This document as RDF (JSON-LD)", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/170048?f=jsonld" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"text/html", "title":"This document as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/170048?f=html" }, { "rel":"collection", "type":"application/json", "title":"USACE Access2Water API", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr" } ] }
