This earth dam, with a height of 19 feet and a length of 1140 feet, holds a storage capacity of 145 acre-feet of water. The dam is state-regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and has undergone inspections, with the most recent assessment in April 2021 rating its condition as unsatisfactory.
Despite its age, the Sulphur Springs Country Club Dam faces high risk due to its unsatisfactory condition and lack of hazard potential assessment. With no spillway in place, the dam's emergency action plan readiness and risk management measures remain unknown. The dam's association with Rock Creek underscores its importance for water resource management in the region, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and potential upgrades to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure for both irrigation and flood control purposes.
