Constructed in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 1025 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 539 acre-feet. Despite its primary purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam also serves fire protection, stock, fish and wildlife pond purposes.
Managed by the local government with state regulation by the TCEQ, the dam has not been rated for condition assessment but is considered to have a high risk potential. With no spillway and only one outlet gate, the dam's inspection frequency, emergency action plan, and risk management measures are all marked as not available. Despite these limitations, the Jim Ned Creek WS SCS Site 5 Dam remains a critical structure in managing water resources and climate-related risks in the region, showcasing the importance of infrastructure in safeguarding communities against natural disasters.
