Situated on the Raft Swamp-Tr river, the dam has a hydraulic height of 11 feet and a structural height of 15 feet, with a length of 630 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 67 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 62 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 800 acres.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is regularly inspected and deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of its last assessment in December 2012. With a surface area of 8 acres, the dam not only supports irrigation but also offers recreational opportunities for the local community. Although it is not regulated by the state, the dam is subject to periodic inspections to ensure its safety and functionality for water resource management in the area.
In the event of an emergency, it is important for the owners and stakeholders of Hendrix Lake Dam to have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place to guide response and mitigation efforts. While details about the EAP status and readiness are not provided in the data, the dam's operational history and low-risk profile make it a crucial asset for water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
