The earth dam, with a height of 12 feet and a length of 290 feet, is situated on TR-Milam Creek and has a normal storage capacity of 14 acre-feet. The dam's spillway, with a width of 30 feet, is uncontrolled, and the outlet consists of two uncontrolled gates.
Managed by a private owner, the dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in November 2014. The condition of the dam was assessed as fair in August 2015. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam's hazard potential is not available. While the dam is not under the jurisdiction of any federal agency, it is monitored by the state and meets all necessary permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Twin Lakes No 2 Dam is an intriguing structure to study within the context of water management and environmental sustainability in Texas.
