The dam, with a height of 43 feet and a length of 800 feet, serves to store water from North Creek and has a storage capacity of 1009 acre-feet. Despite being an earth dam with a buttress core type, it has no spillway and is not associated with any locks.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. However, its hazard potential is marked as "Not Available," and its condition assessment is "Not Rated." With a risk assessment rating of "High (2)," there is a need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the dam in mitigating flood risks in the area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the North Creek WS SCS Site 13 Dam presents an intriguing case study of a vital infrastructure designed to protect communities from flooding in Texas.
