Completed in 1967, this earth dam stands at 47 feet high and spans a length of 2400 feet, with a storage capacity of 1902 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, but it also serves irrigation and recreational purposes for the local community.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is regularly inspected and regulated to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Despite being rated in fair condition during the last assessment in November 2016, the dam poses a moderate risk (level 3) according to the latest risk assessment. With a maximum discharge capacity of 12,220 cubic feet per second and an uncontrolled spillway, the Ne Trib Leon River WS SCS Site 5 Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
