Designed by Steffek & Van de Wiele, this earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and stretches 1120 feet in length along the TR-W Fork San Jacinto River. With a storage capacity of 264 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres, the dam also features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 225 feet.
The dam, regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), underwent a structural modification in 1984. It has four uncontrolled outlet gates and is inspected every five years to ensure its integrity and functionality. Despite being rated as having a moderate risk level, the hazard potential and condition assessment of the dam are currently not available. The dam's emergency action plan was last revised in 2011, with no additional updates on its preparedness or adherence to guidelines provided.
Country Club Lake Dam is a notable structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts, offering insights into dam engineering, recreational water management, and regulatory oversight. Its presence along the TR-W Fork San Jacinto River provides a unique opportunity for environmental monitoring and risk assessment, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring critical infrastructure for both public safety and water resource management in the region.
