Completed in 1957, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 387 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 147 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the TR-Lake Creek river and is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
Despite its recreational significance, the dam poses a high risk with a hazard potential that is not currently available for assessment. The condition of the dam has not been rated, and emergency action plans and risk management measures are not specified. The lack of detailed information on inspections, maintenance, and emergency preparedness underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and maintenance to prevent any potential hazards or failures. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find this dam an intriguing case study for understanding the complexities of managing and ensuring the safety of vital water infrastructure in the face of changing environmental conditions.
