The earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and spans a length of 480 feet, with a storage capacity of 211 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Cowpen Creek, the dam is owned privately and falls under state permitting and inspection regulations.
Despite its important functions, Clark Lake Dam poses a high risk due to its condition assessment being ungraded and a lack of emergency action plan preparedness. With a hazard potential not available and no spillway type in place, the dam's risk management measures are currently unspecified. The dam's location within the Galveston District and under the representation of Congressman Lloyd Doggett warrants attention from water resource and climate enthusiasts to ensure its safety and sustainability for the surrounding community.
