Built in 1984, this earth dam stands at a height of 55 feet, with a total structural height of 71 feet and a length of 2060 feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving to protect the surrounding area along the TR-Mcclellan Creek from potential flooding events.
With a storage capacity of 2463 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, particularly during periods of high precipitation. Despite not having a spillway, the dam is able to effectively control water levels due to its design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The risk assessment for this dam is considered high (2), highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and continued functionality.
As a state-regulated structure, the Mcclellan Creek WS SCS Site 4 Dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to oversee its operations. While the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment are currently not available or rated, its presence serves as a critical infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
