Completed in 1955, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet with a length of 1410 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1000 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 102 feet. Despite its significant contributions to flood control, the dam lacks a spillway and is categorized as having a high risk potential.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Clear Fork Trinity River WS SCS Site 4 Dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, irrigation, and recreation. The dam's primary purpose, however, remains focused on flood risk reduction in a drainage area of 2.14 square miles. With no spillway and limited discharge capabilities, the dam poses potential hazards, though its condition assessment remains unrated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure community safety and water resource management in the region.
