This earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans 1380 feet, providing a storage capacity of 923 acre-feet with a maximum discharge of 1388 cubic feet per second. The dam's primary purpose also includes fire protection, stock or small fish pond maintenance, and recreation opportunities for the local community.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Cedar Creek WS SCS Site 135b Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and lacks emergency action plans. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam's uncontrolled spillway and two outlet gates contribute to its functionality. With a hazard potential that is currently not available, ongoing inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure the dam's continued safety and effectiveness in mitigating flood risks in the area.
