This earth dam, primarily designed for purposes other than flood control or water supply, holds a storage capacity of 131 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Dickerson Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Galveston District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Although the dam's hazard potential is not available, it has been rated as high risk, indicating a potential for significant consequences in the event of a failure. Despite its critical status, the dam's condition has not been formally assessed, and no emergency action plan or inundation maps have been prepared. With limited information on its structural integrity and maintenance, water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Grouskay Fisher Lake Dam to be an intriguing case study in the management of aging infrastructure and potential environmental risks.
