Standing at a height of 38 feet and with a length of 1200 feet, this dam holds a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. It is situated on the TR-Denton Creek and falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
Despite being assessed as having a high risk potential, the condition of C Hobson Dunn Dam No 2 is currently not rated. The last inspection of the dam took place in November 2008, and it does not have a spillway. With no associated structures, this dam plays a crucial role in providing irrigation water for the surrounding agricultural areas. Despite lacking certain safety measures, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose efficiently.
While the dam poses a potential risk due to its high hazard classification, there is currently no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. The dam does not have an inundation map prepared, and the risk management measures are not detailed. With the responsibility falling on the private owners, ensuring the safety and maintenance of C Hobson Dunn Dam No 2 remains crucial to prevent any potential hazards and ensure the continued availability of water resources for irrigation in the region.
