Completed in 1955, this private-owned structure stands at a height of 7 feet with a length of 80 feet, providing a storage capacity of 735 acre-feet. Despite being regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and meeting state inspection and enforcement requirements, the dam lacks a spillway, potentially raising concerns for its hazard potential.
With a risk assessment rating of "High (2)", the condition of Creslenn Ranch Dam is currently not rated, and there are no emergency action plans in place. The last inspection of the dam occurred in December 1976, highlighting the need for updated safety measures and assessments to ensure the community's protection in the event of a dam failure. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and advocate for the maintenance and improvement of infrastructure like Creslenn Ranch Dam to safeguard against potential risks and enhance the sustainability of our water resources.
