This earth dam, with a height of 24 feet and a length of 490 feet, serves a primary purpose that falls under the category of "Other." Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Barry Dam is associated with the Spring Branch river or stream and has a maximum storage capacity of 60 acre-feet.
Despite not having a spillway, Barry Dam has been rated as having a high risk potential. The condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," indicating a lack of recent inspection data. While the dam is not regulated by the state, it does require permitting and inspection. The dam poses a hazard with unspecified emergency action preparedness and no established inundation maps. Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the risk and management of dams may find Barry Dam a compelling case study for further exploration and analysis in the field.
