Designed by JONES & NEUSE, this levee stands at a height of 8 feet and a length of 5530 feet, providing a storage capacity of 230 acre-feet. With a risk assessment rating of High (2), this structure is currently not rated for its condition assessment, posing potential hazards due to its unknown condition.
While the Guadalupe Ski - Plex Levee does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate. Despite being permitted and inspected by the state, this structure lacks enforcement and regulation from the state regulatory agency. With no designated emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps, there are concerns regarding the safety and management of this levee in case of emergencies. As a popular recreational location, the risk of potential failure and the lack of comprehensive risk management measures highlight the importance of continued monitoring and assessment for this water resource.
