Completed in 1969, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and spans a length of 1580 feet along the TR-SAN CASIMIRO CREEK. It is primarily owned and managed by a private entity, with state permitting and inspection requirements in place to ensure its safety and functionality.
Despite its significant role in water supply, Traylor Lake Dam lacks a spillway and is classified as having a high risk potential, with a hazard rating of 2. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, and there is no emergency action plan in place. With its buttress core design, the dam presents a unique engineering challenge and requires thorough risk management measures to prevent potential disasters. The dam's location within the Galveston District and under the oversight of the state of Texas further underscores the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to mitigate any risks associated with its operation.
