This earth dam, standing at 25 feet high and 535 feet long, has a primary purpose of "Other" and is designed with buttress core types. While the dam's hazard potential is labeled as "Not Available," its risk assessment is classified as "High (2)."
Owned privately and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Jordan Dam plays a crucial role in managing the flow of the TR-Stover Creek. With a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 40 acre-feet, the dam contributes significantly to water conservation efforts in the area. Despite not having a spillway, the dam is equipped with one outlet gate for controlled water release.
Jordan Dam is a testament to the collaborative efforts between the private sector and government agencies in safeguarding water resources in Texas. While its condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated," ongoing inspections and regulatory measures ensure the dam's structural integrity and operational efficiency. As a key player in the local water management system, Jordan Dam stands as a critical infrastructure supporting the region's water needs and environmental sustainability goals.
