This earth dam, with a height of 37 feet and a length of 1859 feet, serves primarily for flood risk reduction but also supports fire protection, stock, fish and wildlife ponds, and recreation purposes. It has a storage capacity of 2285 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 136 acre-feet, making it a crucial infrastructure for water management in the area.
Despite being regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and meeting state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements, the dam's condition assessment is not rated, and its hazard potential is marked as "Not Available." However, the risk assessment classifies the dam's risk as high (2). The dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate. While emergency action plans, inundation maps, and risk management measures are not specified for this dam, its importance for flood risk reduction and water resource management in the region cannot be understated, making it a vital structure for climate and water resource enthusiasts to monitor and study.
