Completed in 1986, the earth dam has a height of 26 feet and a length of 1107 feet, providing a storage capacity of 450 acre-feet and a surface area of 13 acres. The dam has a spillway width of 54 feet and a maximum discharge of 2 cubic feet per second.
The structure is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and has state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam has not been rated for condition assessment, and its hazard potential is not available. Despite this, the risk assessment categorizes it as moderate, with a risk management plan yet to be developed. Richland Creek WS SCS Site 92b is an essential water resource for fire protection, stock, and fish habitat in the area, contributing to the conservation efforts in the region.
