This earth dam stands at a height of 72 feet and spans a length of 2270 feet, with a storage capacity of 6018 acre-feet and a drainage area of 15.66 square miles. Despite being a key structure for flood control, the dam does not have a spillway and is not associated with any locks.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Bennett Creek WS SCS Site 2 Dam is currently rated as having high risk potential and its condition is yet to be assessed. With no emergency action plan in place and limited information on its maintenance and inspection history, the dam remains a critical point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As a significant component of the region's water management infrastructure, efforts to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam are essential for mitigating potential hazards and safeguarding the surrounding communities.
