The dam, primarily designed for purposes other than flood control or hydroelectric power generation, stands at a height of 37.15 feet and spans a length of 316 feet. It harnesses a maximum storage capacity of 26 acre-feet and features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 54 feet.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Lincolnshire Dam No 1 is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam's condition has been assessed as fair, with a moderate risk rating assigned to it. Last inspected in February 2014, the dam is designated for inspection every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
While the dam poses a moderate risk, its hazard potential and emergency action plan status are not available. The dam's associated structures, if any, remain unlisted, and its emergency preparedness measures are not fully detailed. Despite these uncertainties, Lincolnshire Dam No 1 continues to play a vital role in managing the flow of an unnamed tributary of Walnut Creek in the Galveston District of Texas, highlighting the importance of monitoring and maintaining water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.
