This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a length of 650 feet, providing a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet. The dam's normal storage capacity is 85 acre-feet and it covers a surface area of 23 acres.
Despite being a privately-owned structure, V Bar Lake No 1 Dam is regulated and inspected by the state of Texas. The dam has no spillway and is classified as having a high risk potential. The hazard potential of the dam is not available, and its condition assessment is not rated. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared, and it does not meet the guidelines for one. With its location in a high-risk area and limited risk management measures in place, V Bar Lake No 1 Dam presents a significant concern for flood risk reduction and safety of the surrounding community.
