Summary
The dam, classified as an Earth type with a height of 12 feet and a length of 500 feet, has a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet and a surface area of 19 acres. Although the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate for water release.
Managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Leon Anderson Lake Dam is not regulated by the state but undergoes regular inspections and permitting processes. Despite being rated as having a high risk potential, the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated." With a focus on providing fire protection, water for stock, recreational opportunities, and maintaining a healthy fish and wildlife habitat, this dam plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and water resource management in the area.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Leon Anderson Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study of a privately-owned structure contributing to environmental conservation and recreational activities. With its unique design and purpose, this dam serves as a vital component in the management of the TR-DOUBLE MTN FORK BRAZOS RIV watershed in Texas. As efforts continue to assess and mitigate potential risks associated with the dam, it stands as a testament to the intersection of human infrastructure and natural ecosystems in the region.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
