Its Normal storage capacity is 90 acre-feet, with a maximum storage of 560 acre-feet, covering a drainage area of 1.25 square miles.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, this dam has a high-risk assessment due to its hazard potential not being available. The dam features a buttress core type with no spillway, and despite being uninspected and condition not rated, it plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region. The dam is part of the Fort Worth District and is not associated with any federal funding or agencies, highlighting the local government's commitment to water resource management and climate resilience in the area.
