Completed in 1957, this Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 55 feet and spans 2464 feet along the South Fork Little Green Creek. With a storage capacity of 4045 acre-feet, it primarily serves the purpose of flood risk reduction, while also offering recreational opportunities to the community.
Operated under the regulatory oversight of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Green Creek WS SCS Site 12 Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment but has a high-risk potential. Equipped with a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate, the dam has not undergone recent inspections since May 2013. Despite the lack of available hazard potential information, the dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flooding events, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and inspection to ensure its continued effectiveness in water resource management and climate resilience efforts.
