Completed in 1970, this earth dam stands at a height of 52 feet and spans 4700 feet, with a storage capacity of 8538 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
Despite its fair condition assessment in 2016, the dam's hazard potential is not available, and it has a moderate risk rating. The spillway, with a width of 312 feet, is uncontrolled, and the dam features slide and uncontrolled outlet gates. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving the local community under the ownership of a local government entity. With a drainage area of 12.5 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 9944 cubic feet per second, Castleman Creek WS SCS Site 1 Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
In recent years, the dam underwent structural modifications in 2011 to enhance its performance. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status is not available, and there is no inundation map prepared for the area. While the dam's risk management measures and DSAC assignment date are unspecified, the structure continues to play a vital role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in McLennan County.
