Completed in 1968, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans a length of 1600 feet, with a storage capacity of 800 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam has not been rated for condition assessment, presenting a potential risk due to its high hazard potential.
The dam, situated on the TR-Auds Creek, is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and falls under the jurisdiction of the state with permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures in place. However, with no spillway type and limited emergency preparedness information available, there is a need for further risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. The Auds Creek WS SCS Site 6 A Dam serves as a critical infrastructure for flood control in the region, highlighting the importance of proactive maintenance and monitoring for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
