This Earth-type dam serves the primary purpose of creating a Fish and Wildlife Pond, providing storage capacity of 73 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 5.1 acres. With a height of 29.4 feet and a length of 762 feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing the TR-N SULPHUR RIVER.
Despite being subject to state permitting and inspection, the Favre Dam is not regulated by the state and is categorized as having a high risk potential. With no spillway and one outlet gate, the dam's condition assessment is not rated, highlighting the need for further evaluation and risk management measures. This structure, nestled in the scenic Texas landscape, offers a fascinating opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore the intersection of human infrastructure and natural ecosystems.
