Completed in 1969, this earth dam stands at 39 feet in height and stretches over 2900 feet in length. With a maximum storage capacity of 3306 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 258 acre-feet, the dam plays a significant role in regulating the flow of the TR-GOOSE BRANCH stream.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and situated within the Fort Worth District, the dam boasts a spillway width of 100 feet and two uncontrolled outlet gates. Despite not having a hazard potential rating or condition assessment, the dam's risk is deemed moderate. While the last inspection was conducted in 1977, the dam continues to serve its primary purposes effectively, with a drainage area of 5.57 square miles and a surface area of 48 acres. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this site presents an opportunity to understand the intersection of infrastructure, water management, and environmental stewardship in a dynamic ecosystem like the Upper Bosque River watershed.
