This earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and stretches 2400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1705 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is flood risk reduction, with additional benefits for fire protection, stock, fish and wildlife ponds.
Managed by the TCEQ and owned by the local government, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and its hazard potential is not available, indicating a need for further evaluation. Despite its risk assessment being classified as high, the dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated emergency contacts, raising concerns about its readiness for potential disasters. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may be interested in monitoring the ongoing management and potential improvements of this crucial flood control structure in the Jim Ned Creek watershed.
