With a height of 21 feet and a length of 710 feet, this earthen dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 586 acre-feet. The dam sits on the Macs Creek and is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), ensuring regular inspections and enforcement of safety standards.
Despite being classified as having a moderate hazard potential, the dam is currently not rated for its condition. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 60 feet wide, helps manage water flow during high levels. With its stone core and rock and soil foundations, Lake No 1 Dam provides a crucial water resource for the surrounding area while also offering recreational opportunities. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently not available, highlighting the need for further assessment and potential improvements to ensure the safety and sustainability of the structure.
