Completed in 1961, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and stretches 1500 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its recreational importance, Woodland Lake Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition with a moderate risk level. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 262 feet and two uncontrolled outlet gates. While the hazard potential is not available, the risk assessment has been classified as moderate. The last inspection conducted in August 2016 revealed the dam's poor condition, prompting the need for potential risk management measures to mitigate any safety concerns.
Woodland Lake Dam serves as a critical structure in the region, providing not only recreational opportunities but also contributing to the local ecosystem. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and maintain the dam's integrity to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the preservation of the area's natural resources. By staying informed about the condition and regulatory oversight of Woodland Lake Dam, enthusiasts can advocate for responsible management practices that prioritize both public safety and environmental conservation.
