Owned privately, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and a length of 479 feet, with a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam is designed by USDA NRCS and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Texas, with permitting and inspection requirements met. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, and risk management measures are not specified.
The dam, situated on TR-BEANS CREEK, is managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and has no associated structures or spillways. With a risk assessment rating of high, there is a need for further evaluation and monitoring to ensure the safety and integrity of Stoval Lake Dam. Although it serves essential purposes in the region, including recreation, the lack of detailed information on emergency action plans and risk management measures raises concerns about the potential consequences of a dam failure. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate should closely monitor developments regarding the safety and management of Stoval Lake Dam.
