This earth dam stands at 55 feet high and stretches 1200 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 485 acre-feet. The dam sits on the TR-Upper Keechi Creek, under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite being privately owned, the dam is state permitted and inspected, with no state regulatory enforcement. It lacks a spillway and has not been rated for condition assessment, posing a high risk level for potential hazards. The dam's buttress core type and unknown foundation make it an intriguing structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to study and monitor for any changes in risk assessment and management measures in the future.
