The dam stands at a height of 26 feet, with a length of 441 feet, and has a storage capacity of 46 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Polecat Creek, this earth dam with buttress core serves primarily for recreational purposes and is not regulated by the state. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, with no recent inspection data available.
Owned privately, Harrell Gss does not receive federal funding or oversight, and its emergency action plan status is unknown. The dam lacks a spillway and has no locks or drainage area, making its risk assessment notably high. While it is not part of the USACE, the dam's risk management measures, inspection frequency, and condition assessment remain unspecified. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Harrell Gss presents an intriguing case study of a privately-owned recreational dam in Texas with potential implications for safety and environmental management.
