This earth dam, standing at a height of 31 feet and stretching over 1825 feet in length, plays a key role in mitigating potential flooding events in the area. The dam's primary purpose is to protect the surrounding Johnson County community from the impacts of excessive water flow, with a normal storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 666 acre-feet.
Operated by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Chambers Creek WS SCS Site 32 Dam is equipped with a spillway width of 66 feet and outlet gates for efficient water discharge during high-flow events. While the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment remain unclassified, it is subject to regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With its moderate risk rating and strategic location within the Fort Worth District, this dam stands as a vital component of the region's water resource management infrastructure, contributing to the overall resilience and safety of the community.
