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.
