The dam serves a primary purpose of recreation, providing a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 35 acre-feet. Situated on Bayou Meto-TR, this earth dam spans 520 feet and has a maximum discharge capacity of 690 cubic feet per second.
Despite being privately owned, the dam has significant hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition. With no state or federal regulations, inspections, or enforcement in place, the dam poses a potential risk to the surrounding area in the event of a failure. It is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to advocate for regular inspections and maintenance of dams like Hatcher Lake Number 1 to ensure the safety of the community and the environment.
