This earth dam with a buttress core serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a storage capacity of 124 acre-feet. While it does not have a spillway, it does have one outlet gate for controlled release of water. With a high risk assessment rating of 2, the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment are currently listed as "Not Available" and "Not Rated," respectively.
Owned privately, Lee Dam is not regulated by the state but is subject to state permitting and inspection. The dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of a state regulatory agency and is not enforced by state authorities. Despite being designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the dam's condition and risk management measures remain unassessed and uncertain. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Lee Dam offers a fascinating study in dam construction and management within the Tulsa District of Texas.
