With a height of 20 feet and a length of 510 feet, this buttress dam serves a primary purpose other than flood control, providing a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. The dam boasts a spillway width of 64 feet and is equipped with one uncontrolled outlet gate.
Despite being classified as fair in its condition assessment, the dam poses a moderate risk according to the Hazard Potential Rating System. The last inspection in April 2016 revealed that the structure meets regulatory requirements and is in compliance with state permitting and inspection protocols. However, the hazard potential of the dam remains a concern, as it lacks an Emergency Action Plan and inundation maps to guide risk management in case of emergencies. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the maintenance and risk assessment of dams like Dallas National Golf Club Dam is crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water infrastructure.
