Completed in 2009, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 10.9 feet with a hydraulic height of 8.8 feet, offering a storage capacity of 7 acre-feet. The dam's spillway, with a width of 53 feet, is uncontrolled and can handle a maximum discharge of 1046 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Premier Parks Upper Dam 2 undergoes regular state inspections and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with regulations. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's hazard potential is not available, indicating a moderate risk level. Emergency action plans (EAP) have been prepared and revised periodically, with the last revision in December 2010, to meet guidelines and ensure effective risk management measures are in place. Despite not being under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam plays a vital role in mitigating flood risks and protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation.
