The Trinity River Authority (TRA) is confirming that the spillway of the Lake Livingston Dam (spillway) has been adversely impacted by the recent heavy rainfall and flooding in the dam’s drainage area. This has resulted in the declaration of a “potential failure watch” condition which requires continued monitoring and evaluation of the spillway’s integrity, as well as the implementation of necessary repairs and remedial actions.
Although there is no immediate danger of either failure or breach of the dam, the potential does exist however remote it might be. The day-to-day operation of the dam will continue as necessary, although normal gate operations may vary as conditions dictate. This declaration is in conformance with the Emergency Action Plan as approved by the TRA. TRA will continue to monitor the spillway’s status and will issue updates as appropriate.
