This Earth-type levee, primarily designed for purposes other than flood control, has a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet and serves as a critical infrastructure for managing water resources in the area. The levee is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with state regulations.
Although the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate for operational purposes. With a Risk Assessment rating of "High (2)", the levee poses potential risks that require careful risk management measures to be implemented. Despite its condition being labeled as "Not Rated", the dam's importance in water resource management cannot be understated, especially with its location off the CH-San Jacinto River. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and support the maintenance and upkeep of vital infrastructure like Sludge Fill Pond Levee No 1 to safeguard against potential hazards and ensure sustainable water management practices in the region.
