Located in Rockwall, Texas, the Upper East Fk Laterals WS SCS Site 3f Dam, also known as Crenshaw Lake, was completed in 1959 by the USDA NRCS.
This earth dam, with a height of 34 feet and a length of 1216 feet, serves primarily for flood risk reduction. The dam has a storage capacity of 524 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.82 square miles, with a spillway width of 45 feet.
Managed by the TCEQ, the dam is state-regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced for safety and compliance. The dam's purpose extends beyond flood risk reduction to include fire protection, stock watering, small fish ponds, and recreational activities. With a moderate risk assessment rating and no current hazard potential, the dam's condition is not yet rated, but it provides essential water resource management for the surrounding area.
Situated along TR-CAMP CREEK and under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District, the Upper East Fk Laterals WS SCS Site 3f Dam plays a crucial role in water management in the region. Its strategic design and regulated operations ensure the safety of nearby communities while also offering opportunities for recreation and wildlife conservation.
