Built in 1974 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches 333 feet in length. The dam provides a storage capacity of 165 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 123 acre-feet and a surface area of 11 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is deemed poor, based on a 2017 inspection. The dam has uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. While the dam's emergency action plan status is unclear, the risk management measures and overall risk characterization remain unspecified. The dam's location near TR-Burdine Creek adds to its significance for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and resilience of such structures in the face of changing environmental conditions.
