Standing at a height of 29 feet with a length of 929 feet, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, fish and wildlife pond, and flood risk reduction. It has a storage capacity of 394 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated.
Managed by the local government, this dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The primary source agency is Texas, and the dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Although there are no associated structures or locks, the dam has a single outlet gate. With a risk assessment rating of high (2), it is crucial for emergency action plans to be developed and maintained to ensure the safety of the surrounding area in case of a potential breach.
