The earth dam stands at a height of 42 feet and spans 1995 feet, with a storage capacity of 4370 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 247 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, although it also supports irrigation in the area.
Managed by local government authorities and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam has a spillway width of 400 feet and features uncontrolled outlet gates. Despite being last inspected in 1980, the dam is classified as having a moderate risk level (3) and is not currently rated for its condition. With no available hazard potential assessment, the dam remains a key infrastructure for managing flood risks in the region and ensuring water resource sustainability for the community.
