This earth dam, with a height of 31 feet and length of 416 feet, was designed by USDA NRCS and is under private ownership. It stands on the TR-Donahoe Creek, within the Galveston District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, providing a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet and a normal storage of 9 acre-feet.
Despite its small size, Moeller Dam poses a high risk, with a hazard potential of "Not Available" and a risk assessment rating of 2 (considered high). The dam does not have a spillway and has not been rated for its condition. The inspection frequency, emergency preparedness, and risk management measures are also not specified in the available data. However, the dam has not been associated with any incidents or emergencies in recent years.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Moeller Dam intriguing for its unique characteristics as a privately owned recreational structure in Texas. Its location on the TR-Donahoe Creek and its association with the USDA NRCS add to its significance in the region. While the dam's risk level and condition assessment may raise concerns, its role in providing water supply and recreational opportunities highlights the delicate balance between human development and environmental conservation in the area.
