This earth dam stands at 24 feet tall and spans 1,100 feet in length, providing storage for up to 480 acre-feet of water in normal conditions. Despite its primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this dam does not feature a spillway and is not equipped with locks, emphasizing its focus on water storage and management.
Managed by local government authorities and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, North Creek WS SCS Site 22 Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place. However, its high risk classification indicates the need for increased monitoring and potential risk management measures in the future. With its unique design features and historical significance in the region, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate adaptation strategies in the face of changing environmental conditions.
