The earth-type dam stands at a height of 14.5 feet and has a length of 400 feet, providing a surface area of 3.5 acres. With a normal storage capacity of 23 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 29 acre-feet, the dam serves as a crucial water resource in the area, supporting various recreational activities.
Managed and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam has undergone inspections with a frequency of 5 years, with the last assessment conducted in November 2015, showing a fair condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 16 feet and three uncontrolled outlet gates. Despite a moderate risk assessment rating, the hazard potential is marked as not available, indicating a level of uncertainty in the risk evaluation for the structure.
With Congressman Louie Gohmert representing the area, Vandrovec Lake Dam plays a significant role in water management and recreation in Nacogdoches. Its presence along Bayou La Nana contributes to the local ecosystem and provides a space for outdoor enthusiasts and climate advocates to appreciate and enjoy the natural surroundings while being mindful of the dam's structural integrity and regulatory oversight by state agencies.
