This earth dam stands at 18 feet tall and spans 740 feet in length, serving primarily for recreation purposes. Situated on TR-POST OAK CREEK, the dam has a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 64 acre-feet.
While the dam does not have a spillway, it is regulated and inspected by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The last inspection of the dam was conducted in September 1975, and its condition is currently not rated. The hazard potential of the dam is deemed not available, but it is classified as having a high risk level (2). Despite not being operated by USACE, the dam does have one outlet gate for water release.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hubbard Lake No 3 Dam offers an interesting case study in dam infrastructure in Texas. Its historical significance, recreational purpose, and regulatory oversight by TCEQ make it a noteworthy site to study the intersection of water management, environmental conservation, and public safety in the region.
