Designed for purposes other than flood control or water supply, this buttress dam stands at a height of 20.4 feet and spans a length of 750 feet. With a storage capacity of 46 acre-feet and a surface area of 5.62 acres, the dam regulates the flow of the TR-Slater Creek in Van Zandt County.
Despite its relatively small size, the Tony Price Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. The dam has not been rated for condition assessment, but it has been inspected periodically since its completion. While it does not feature a spillway, it does have one outlet gate for controlled release of water. With a risk assessment rating of "High (2)", the dam underscores the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to ensure its continued effectiveness in managing water resources and mitigating potential hazards.
