Built in 1969, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 884 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. Despite its relatively small size, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural irrigation in the area.
With a spillway width of zero and no outlet gates, the dam does not have the capacity for flood control measures. However, it serves as a vital resource for fire protection, stock watering, and small fish ponds in addition to irrigation. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, but it is classified as having a high risk potential, indicating the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued functionality and safety.
Situated on the Rush Creek tributary, Lesley Lake No 2 Dam is part of the Fort Worth District and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Texas. While it is not regulated by the state, the dam does require permitting and inspection to ensure compliance with safety standards. As a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing environmental conditions.
