Built in 1950 by the USDA NRCS, this private earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet with a length of 501 feet, providing a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. The dam, situated on TR-CHICKEN CREEK, plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its age, Ledrick Estate Dam has not been rated for its condition and has a high risk assessment level of 2. With no spillway and limited regulatory oversight, the dam poses potential hazards that need to be addressed. While the dam has not been regularly inspected, it is equipped with one outlet gate for controlled water release. As climate change continues to impact water resources, ensuring the safety and maintenance of dams like Ledrick Estate becomes increasingly important for both water security and environmental sustainability in Texas.
