Managed by the US Army, this dam stands at a height of 21 feet and spans 560 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 135 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating a potential need for risk management measures in the future.
Situated on the Coryell River within the Bell County, Dam 36 plays a crucial role in flood control and water resource management in the region. With a normal storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 18,795 cubic feet per second, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water supply and environmental protection in the area. The dam's uncontrolled spillway type and its location in the Fort Worth District highlight its significance in the overall water infrastructure network.
Although the dam's condition assessment is not available at this time, its last inspection in September 2020 deemed it to have a low hazard potential. With a designated inspection frequency of 4, Dam 36 remains a key structure for the US Army in terms of operations, construction, and regulation. As climate change continues to impact water resources, Dam 36's role in managing water flow and storage is essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding communities and ecosystems.
