Completed in 1964, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and stretches 2058 feet in length, providing a maximum storage capacity of 1339 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 2.73 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks and ensuring water resource sustainability in the region.
Despite its importance, the dam's condition assessment was marked as unsatisfactory in April 2021, highlighting the need for maintenance and potential improvements to ensure its continued functionality. The dam features a spillway width of 72 feet and is managed by local government authorities under the regulatory oversight of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). With a moderate risk assessment rating, it is crucial for stakeholders to prioritize the safety and maintenance of this essential infrastructure to mitigate any potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding communities and water resources.
As a key component in the region's flood risk reduction efforts, the Ne Trib Leon River WS SCS Site 15 Dam serves multiple purposes, including irrigation and recreation, in addition to its primary function. With a history of periodic inspections and an emergency action plan in place, the dam remains a critical asset in managing water resources and protecting against flooding events. Continued investment and maintenance will be essential to ensure the long-term resilience and effectiveness of this important water management infrastructure.
