Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 48 feet, with a length of 1995 feet and a storage capacity of 4144 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam also serves other functions such as fire protection, stock, fish and wildlife pond, and recreation.
Managed by local government authorities and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), this dam has not been rated for its condition assessment but is considered to have a moderate risk level. The spillway, with a width of 300 feet, is uncontrolled, and the outlet gates include a slide gate and two uncontrolled gates. Although last inspected in 1977, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience in the region, showcasing the collaborative efforts of various agencies in ensuring its safety and functionality.
