Built in 1917 by E J Foster, this private dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. With a height of 23 feet and a length of 750 feet, the dam provides a storage capacity of 396 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 30 acres.
The Clark Lake Dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 150 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 1475 cubic feet per second. Despite its age, the dam's hazard potential is deemed not available, and its condition assessment remains unrated. The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for the dam was last revised in October 2016, and the risk assessment categorizes the structure as having a moderate risk level. With Congressman Henry Cuellar representing the district, ongoing management measures are in place to address any potential risks associated with the dam to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environmental resources.
