Standing at a height of 9 feet and a length of 8600 feet, this levee has a storage capacity of 578 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 61.5 acres. While the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate for water control.
Despite being last inspected in 1979 and not currently rated for condition assessment, the Lovell Reservoir No 2 Levee poses a high risk due to its age and lack of recent maintenance records. The regulatory oversight of this structure falls under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), with state permitting and inspection requirements being met. However, with no emergency action plan in place, the levee's hazard potential remains unknown, emphasizing the need for increased risk management measures and updated maintenance practices to ensure the safety and longevity of this important water resource infrastructure.
