This private dam, standing at a height of 30 feet, serves the primary purpose of recreation along the TR-Caney Creek. With a storage capacity of 483 acre-feet, the dam is mainly used for recreational activities and does not fall under state regulation or enforcement.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 45 feet and two uncontrolled outlet gates. Although the condition assessment is not rated and the hazard potential is not available, the risk assessment categorizes the dam as moderate (3). The last inspection date was in May 1989, and it is noted that the emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are not specified.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Spring Lake Dam No 2 offers an intriguing glimpse into a privately owned earth dam that plays a significant role in providing recreational opportunities in the area. The dam's historical completion, structural details, and risk assessment serve as valuable insights for understanding the intersection of water management, infrastructure, and environmental stewardship in the region.
