The dam, with a height of 25 feet and a length of 840 feet, has a maximum storage capacity of 586 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8 acres. It is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
The dam's spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 136 feet, and it has an uncontrolled outlet with two gates. The structure, designed by Sabine Mining Co, is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type. The dam poses a moderate risk, with a hazard potential that is not available and a condition assessment that is not rated. Although it has not been inspected since June 1988, emergency action plans were last revised in December 2010.
The Sabine Mining 87-B12-005-Dam is a significant engineering structure within the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. It plays a crucial role in managing water resources and maintaining the ecological balance of the surrounding Clark's Creek watershed. Enthusiasts of water resource management and climate change adaptation will appreciate the detailed information available about this dam's design, construction, and regulatory oversight.
