How tall will the dam be?
A preliminary engineering report published in April 2000 report by Freese & Nichols and Brown & Root, entitled “Report on Allens Creek Reservoir Supporting an Application to Amend Permit 2925” indicates: • The dam will reach a maximum height of 53 feet – about the size of a 4-story building. • The normal water elevation (top of conservation pool) will be at 121.0 feet above mean sea level. •The dam will be approximately 23,000 feet in length – about 4.3 miles long. • The Allens Creek Reservoir will not be a constant level lake; therefore, the operating elevation for the conservation pool will vary seasonally.
