This earth dam, primarily used for fire protection and stock or small fish pond purposes, holds a maximum storage capacity of 116 acre-feet. Despite not having a spillway, the dam is considered to have a high risk assessment due to its hazard potential and condition assessment being not rated.
The dam is privately owned and not regulated by the state, with no associated structures and no inspection or enforcement by state agencies. The surrounding area is drained by TR-Lake Creek, and the dam is managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Though it lacks certain safety features like a spillway and has limited information on its condition assessment and emergency action plan, Mcgregor Ranch Lake No 1 Dam remains a critical structure for fire protection and water storage in the region. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the dam's historical significance and potential impact on the local ecosystem.
