Completed in 1955, this earth dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock maintenance, and small fish pond management. With a height of 10 feet and a length of 890 feet, it has a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet and a surface area of 13 acres.
Despite its age, the dam is still in use and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for inspection and enforcement. However, recent assessments have rated its condition as poor, indicating the need for maintenance and potential upgrades to ensure continued safety and functionality. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway and one outlet gate, with a moderate risk level assigned based on the hazard potential and condition assessment.
Located in a relatively low-risk area with limited drainage and discharge capabilities, Tx No Name No 19 Dam remains a critical asset for local water resources and climate management. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the maintenance and upkeep of infrastructure like this dam are essential to ensure the safety and sustainability of the surrounding ecosystem.
