Standing at a height of 17 feet and with a length of 590 feet, the dam holds a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 12 acres. The dam's primary source agency is the Texas state regulatory agency TCEQ, which ensures its compliance with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements.
Despite being classified as having a fair condition assessment, the dam poses a moderate risk according to a hazard potential rating of 3. The spillway, with a width of 22 feet, is uncontrolled, and the dam's outlet gates are also uncontrolled. The last inspection was conducted in July 2014, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. The dam's location along TR-Harmon Creek adds to its significance for water resource and climate enthusiasts, who may be interested in its design, construction, and management over the years.
