Located along the TR-Leon River and managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Borrow Pit Reservoir Dam plays a vital role in water resource management in the region. Despite its high hazard potential and a risk assessment rating of 2 (High), the dam's condition remains unrated. While the dam lacks a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate. Inspections and enforcement are carried out by the state regulatory agency, ensuring the safety and integrity of the dam for the community it serves.
