Completed in 1955, this dam serves a primary purpose other than flood control or water supply. With a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet, the dam sits on Pool Branch, a river or stream in the area. While the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate.
Despite being privately owned, Lingo Lake Dam is regulated by the state of Texas, with regular inspections and permitting in place. The dam has not been rated for its condition, but it has been identified as having a high risk potential. The dam does not currently have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, nor does it have inundation maps prepared. The risk management measures for the dam are unknown at this time.
Overall, Lingo Lake Dam poses a potential risk due to its high hazard potential and lack of certain safety measures. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and emergency preparedness for structures that play a crucial role in managing water resources. As further assessments and risk management measures are put in place, the safety and integrity of Lingo Lake Dam can be better ensured for both the surrounding community and the environment.
