The dam stands at a height of 52 feet and spans a length of 1670 feet, with a storage capacity of 3890 acre-feet to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events. Despite its primary purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam also serves as a recreational area for water enthusiasts in the region.
Operated by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Ne Trib Leon River WS SCS Site 7 Dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the area. With a high hazard potential rating and a risk assessment of 2 (high), it is essential for the dam's condition to be regularly assessed and maintained to ensure its effectiveness in flood control. While the dam has no spillway and limited outlet gates, its strategic location and design make it a significant asset for water management in the region.
