Although the dam does not have a spillway, it serves as a vital resource for the local community along TR-Hog Creek.
Managed by the Galveston District, Johnson Lake Dam poses a high risk due to its condition assessment being not rated and its hazard potential information not available. Despite not being regulated by the state and lacking enforcement measures, the dam is inspected and permitted for operation.
