Standing at a height of 19 feet and a length of 867 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 138 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 15 acres. Despite not having a spillway, the dam is regulated and inspected by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
The dam, situated on TR-Lake Creek, poses a high risk due to its hazard potential and condition assessment being rated as "Not Rated". While it lacks certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and advocate for the implementation of risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards associated with the dam. With the dam's close proximity to residential areas, it is crucial to ensure that proper monitoring and maintenance practices are in place to protect the surrounding communities and the environment.
As part of the Fort Worth District, the Lago Del Bosque Lower Lake Dam serves as a recreational spot for locals and visitors alike. With its scenic surroundings and recreational opportunities, it is important to balance the enjoyment of the dam with a commitment to its safety and preservation for future generations. By staying informed and actively engaging in discussions about the dam's risk management and maintenance practices, water resource and climate enthusiasts can help ensure the continued safety and sustainability of this important infrastructure.
