Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the Red Oak Hunting Club Dam poses a moderate risk level, prompting a five-year inspection frequency to ensure its structural integrity and safety. This uncontrolled spillway structure has a maximum discharge capacity of 50 cubic feet per second, serving as a vital component for flood risk management in the area. With its location in the Fort Worth District and close proximity to Oakland, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts within the region.
