The dam is situated on Wolf Creek and is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), ensuring that it meets state inspection and enforcement standards.
Over the years, Jdm Lake Dam has undergone modifications in 1992 for structural improvements and in 2012 for hydraulic enhancements. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 83 feet and two uncontrolled outlet gates. Despite its moderate risk classification and unknown hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its current condition. With a drainage area of 2.2 square miles and a surface area of 88 acres, Jdm Lake Dam continues to provide essential water resource management and recreational opportunities for the local community.
