Frog Dam, located in Randall County, Texas, is a privately owned structure designed by Calvin Shoup Engineering for recreational purposes.
Completed in 1966, this earth dam stands at 32 feet in height and spans 600 feet in length along the Spring Draw river or stream. With a capacity to hold 396 acre-feet of water, it serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities in the area.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Frog Dam is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure its safety and compliance with state standards. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type and moderate hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. Emergency action plans and risk management measures are yet to be fully detailed, but the structure continues to provide recreational opportunities for locals and visitors alike.
In the event of any emergencies or modifications, stakeholders can refer to the last inspection date in October 2015 and the designated emergency contact information. Frog Dam remains a vital part of the water resource management system in the region, offering both leisure and potential flood control benefits for the community.
