Price Dam 1, located in Gray County, Texas, was completed in 1970 by the USDA NRCS and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond.
Standing at a height of 26 feet with a structural height of 27 feet and a length of 310 feet, this earth dam on TR-WHITE DEER CREEK has a storage capacity of 105 acre-feet. Despite not having a spillway, it features one outlet gate for water control.
The dam is privately owned and not regulated by the state, but it is subject to state permitting and inspection. With a drainage area of 800 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. However, its hazard potential is not available, and the condition assessment has not been rated, indicating a potential need for further evaluation and risk management measures. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Price Dam 1 offers an intriguing case study in dam construction and management in a semi-arid region like Texas.
