This earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and stretches 3200 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 3440 acre-feet. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
With a drainage area of 8.52 square miles, the East Keechi Creek WS SCS Site 2 Dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating flood risks in the region. Despite being assessed as in fair condition as of August 2017, the dam has a moderate hazard potential and is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity. As climate change continues to impact weather patterns and water resources, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like this one becomes increasingly vital for community safety and water management efforts.
