This earth dam structure stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 766 feet in length, providing storage capacity for 53 acre-feet of water in its 4.1-acre surface area. The dam is regulated by TCEQ and has state-permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols in place to ensure its functionality and safety.
Despite its age, the condition of Farmers Creek WS SCS Debris Basin 122 is not rated, and its hazard potential is currently not available. However, the risk assessment categorizes it as having a high risk level. The structure features an outlet gate for water discharge and is designed to control debris, provide fire protection, and serve as a habitat for fish and wildlife. With no spillway and a relatively small drainage area of 0.16 square miles, this debris basin plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Montague County, Texas, under the oversight of the Fort Worth District.
