About Easterday Dam East

The primary purpose of Easterday Dam East is debris control. The dam is designed to catch sediment, rocks, and debris carried by flowing water — particularly important in areas prone to mudslides or heavy erosion. The dam is owned by E E Easterday (private). It impounds the Tr-smith Br-loutre River near Mineola.

The dam stands 25 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 6 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 820 square miles. Completed in 1952, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
