Completed in 1973, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a length of 2600 feet, with a storage capacity of 2640 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Hackberry Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the OWRB, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and functionality.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, SCS-Upper Red Rock Creek Site-53 is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for flood control. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, the dam has not been modified since its completion and is considered to meet safety guidelines. The site has not had an inspection since November 1999, but the state regulatory agency, OWRB, remains responsible for overseeing its operations and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks and ensure its long-term functionality for water resource management in the region.
