Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with additional functions including debris control, fire protection, and stock or small fish pond management. The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and is inspected, permitted, and enforced by state authorities.
This earth dam on TR-Braden Branch has a storage capacity of 370 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 0.79 square miles. Despite not having a spillway, the dam has an outlet gate for operational control. With a high risk assessment level of 2, the dam's condition is currently not rated and it does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. While it lacks certain safety features, Denton Creek WS SCS Site 10e Dam remains a crucial infrastructure for flood risk mitigation in the region, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
