The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, offering a surface area of 2.86 acres and a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet. The dam, constructed of concrete with a buttress core type, is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality.
Despite its relatively small drainage area of 0.09 square miles, Arbor Dam 1 poses a high risk due to its condition assessment being rated as "Not Rated." The dam lacks a spillway and has no associated locks, potentially limiting its ability to manage water discharge in case of emergencies. With a hazard potential classification of "Not Available," it is crucial for stakeholders and authorities to closely monitor Arbor Dam 1 and implement necessary risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource challenges.
