Built in 1954, this earth dam stands at a height of 8 feet and stretches 6000 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 374 acre-feet. Although it lacks a spillway, the dam is structurally sound and has not been rated for condition assessment.
Even though the last inspection was conducted in 1976, the levee is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), ensuring that it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. The risk assessment for Dana-Tule Levee 2 indicates a high potential for hazard, but specific risk management measures have not been outlined. Despite the lack of recent data on emergency action plans and inundation maps, this levee remains a crucial piece of infrastructure for maintaining water resources in the region.
