The dam, standing at a height of 9 feet and stretching 6500 feet in length, holds a normal storage capacity of 347 acre-feet. Situated on Prairie Creek, this earth dam with a buttress core is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures. Despite its age, the dam's condition has not been rated, and its hazard potential is listed as not available.
The dam, with a maximum storage capacity of 1500 acre-feet, serves as a popular spot for fishing and hunting activities, providing a surface area of 124 acres for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy. However, with a high risk assessment rating of 2, the dam poses potential risks that need to be carefully managed. While the last inspection took place in April 1982, the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures remain unclear. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is crucial for stakeholders to prioritize the safety and maintenance of dams like Dallas Hunt and Fish Lower Lake Dam to ensure the protection of both the environment and public safety.
