The dam, with a height of 40 feet and a length of 1000 feet, has a storage capacity of 3205 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 60 acres. Despite being classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type, it does not have a spillway.
Owned by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), this dam plays a vital role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the region. The Natural Resources Conservation Service was responsible for its design, with the dam primarily serving the purpose of flood risk reduction. With a high risk assessment rating, the dam's condition is currently not rated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
