Post-Inspection Report Kills Hopes for Flood Control Dams
An inspection team from the U S Soil Conservation Service and the State Conservation Board told a 26 person gathering in city hall that California Creek’s flat terrain makes dam construction infeasible. They noted only six possible dam sites, which would protect just 20 percent of watershed land, and that a channel improvement plan would fail federal requirements and incur high maintenance costs. The steering committee disbanded, ending hopes for flood control. California Creek runs from near Anson to Lake Stamford, feeding Paint Creek and the Brazos system.
