The dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 36 acre-feet. It is situated on the TR-North Fork of Leon River and is managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite its age and limited structural information, East King Dam poses a high risk (2) according to hazard potential assessments. It lacks a spillway and has not been rated for its condition, raising concerns about its ability to withstand potential emergencies or extreme weather events. The dam's last inspection was conducted in 1979, highlighting the need for updated assessments and risk management measures to ensure the safety and reliability of this vital water resource infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.
