This earth dam, with a height of 29 feet and a length of 2180 feet, has a storage capacity of 1823 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 27.2 acres. Despite being in fair condition as of the most recent assessment in April 2021, the dam is subject to a high risk level (2) due to its potential hazard.
Managed by local government authorities, the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). With a designated outlet gate, the dam lacks a spillway and has not undergone major modifications over the years. The primary purpose of the structure is flood risk reduction, aligning with its construction history and design specifications. While the dam is not owned or funded by federal agencies, its role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events showcases its importance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts.
