Built in 1954 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and spans 1200 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 1700 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 151 acre-feet, the dam serves to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events, particularly along the TR-Turkey Creek.
Managed by local government authorities and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the East Laterals Trinity WS SCS Site 1 Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment due to its high risk potential. Equipped with a single slide gate for outlet control, this dam plays a vital role in water resource management within the region. While lacking a spillway, the dam's design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service ensure its structural integrity and functionality for flood mitigation purposes.
Despite its age, the East Laterals Trinity WS SCS Site 1 Dam continues to be a key infrastructure asset for flood risk reduction in Henderson County. With ongoing state inspections and enforcement measures in place, the dam remains a critical component of the local water resource system, safeguarding the community against potential inundation events.
