This earth dam, standing at a height of 7 feet, is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular state inspections and enforcement measures. The levee is situated along the off-channel of Willow Marsh, covering a surface area of 122.5 acres with a drainage area of 0.19 square miles.
Although last inspected in 1976, the E W Monteith No 3 Levee poses a moderate risk level and has not been rated for its current condition. With uncontrolled spillways and a single outlet gate, the dam stands as a crucial infrastructure for water supply in the region. Its hazard potential and emergency action plan preparations are not available, highlighting the need for updated risk assessment and management measures. As an important component of the local water resource system, this levee plays a vital role in supporting agricultural activities and ensuring water availability for the surrounding area.
