Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and stretches 2524 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1254 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam has not been rated for condition assessment, but its hazard potential is currently labeled as "Not Available."
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam also provides fire protection and serves as a small fish and wildlife pond. The risk assessment for the dam is considered high, with a risk level of 2, indicating the need for careful monitoring and management to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. While specific emergency preparedness details are not provided, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate and is under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
