Standing at a height of 24 feet and with a length of 835 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 250 acre-feet and a surface area of 21 acres. Despite lacking a spillway, it is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
The dam, primarily an Earth type with a Buttress core, is located within the Fort Worth District and falls under the jurisdiction of Kevin Brady (R) in the US Congress. While it has not been rated for condition assessment or emergency preparedness, its hazard potential is considered high. With no associated locks or spillways, the structure features one outlet gate and has not been modified since its construction. Although its risk management measures and risk characterization remain undefined, the dam continues to play a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the area.
Price Lake Dam serves as a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure, ensuring a stable supply for irrigation in the region. Its historical significance and ongoing regulatory oversight highlight the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures to mitigate potential risks and ensure the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems in the face of changing climate conditions.
