The dam, primarily made of earth with a buttress core, stands at a height of 18 feet and has a length of 200 feet. It has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 11 acres. Despite lacking a spillway, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate.
The dam is situated on TR-Brushy Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the state of Texas. It is privately owned and regularly inspected for safety. With a hazard potential that is not available and a high risk assessment rating of 2, the dam is considered to be in good condition and not rated for any specific risks. The surrounding area is not at risk of inundation, and emergency preparedness measures are yet to be fully evaluated. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hudman Lake Dam presents an interesting case study in dam construction and management in Texas.
