The dam, primarily owned by the local government, serves a variety of purposes and is classified as an Earth dam with a buttress core type. It has a storage capacity of 309 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 5129 cubic feet per second. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled and spans 223 meters wide.
The dam underwent structural modifications in 2008 and is subject to regular inspections by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Despite its moderate risk rating, the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment are currently not available. Although no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) has been prepared, the dam has a designated number of uncontrolled outlet gates. With its close proximity to the Galveston District and the absence of any associated locks or lock structures, Mc Neil Dam remains a critical water resource management infrastructure in the region, contributing to the overall hydrological landscape of the area.
