Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and a hydraulic height of 32 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 1400 acre-feet. With a spillway width of 238 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 3219 cubic feet per second, the dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, and flood risk reduction for the surrounding area.
Regulated and inspected by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, this dam has a moderate risk assessment rating and has not been assigned a hazard potential. The structure features an uncontrolled spillway type and is equipped with slide and uncontrolled outlet gates. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in December 2015. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is maintained to meet state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements to ensure its continued effectiveness in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the region.
