This earth dam stands at a height of 62 feet with a length of 1375 feet, providing a storage capacity of 2242 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam has not been rated for its condition but is deemed to have a high risk potential due to its Hazard Potential not being available.
Managed by the local government, the dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. While primarily serving flood risk reduction, the dam also caters to additional purposes such as fire protection, stock or small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and recreation. With no spillway in place, the dam is equipped with a single outlet gate.
Although lacking detailed information on its condition assessment and emergency action plan, Home Creek WS SCS Site 3 Dam stands as a crucial structure in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the region. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find this dam's design and purpose intriguing, highlighting the importance of infrastructure in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against natural disasters.
