Built in 1961 by Wheeler Engineering Inc, this dam stands at a height of 7 feet and stretches 1200 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet. Although it serves a primary purpose of "Other," the dam has not been regulated by the state and lacks a spillway, raising concerns about its hazard potential and risk assessment.
Despite being last inspected in 1977 and labeled as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, Tyler Pipe Industries Dam No 1 remains a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With a high risk assessment score of 2, the dam's lack of emergency action plans and inundation maps raises questions about its safety and management measures. As a non-USACE structure, the dam's condition and potential impact on the surrounding area warrant further investigation and attention from relevant authorities.
