Designed by USDA NRCS, this structure sits on TR-BRUSHY CREEK and has a height of 25 feet, a length of 810 feet, and a storage capacity of 167 acre-feet. Despite being regulated by the state and having permitting and inspection requirements in place, the dam is not currently rated for condition assessment and has a high risk level of 2, although specific risk management measures are not detailed.
While Windrum Gss lacks a spillway system, it does have a single outlet gate for water release. It is noteworthy that the dam poses a potential hazard, with emergency action plans and risk assessment data not available or updated. The dam's location in Galveston District and its association with Michael T. McCaul (R) as the Congressional Representative further highlight its significance in the region. The structure's status as not being operated by USACE suggests a level of autonomy in its management and maintenance, which could impact its long-term sustainability and safety for the surrounding community.
