FUN Fact! CONSTRUCTION OF BENBROOK LAKE
Construction on the lake began in May 1947, and
was practically completed when floodgates were
closed and deliberate impoundment was begun
in September 1952. The cost to build the lake was
$14.5 million. The rolled-earth embankment is 9,130
feet in length, including the concrete spillway, and
rises 130 feet above the streambed to an elevation
of 747 feet above sea level. A pair of 6.5 by 13-foot
sliding gates operated by electric cable hoists controls the floodwater
releases through the 13-foot diameter conduit. Two 30-inch diameter pipes are provided
for low-flow releases to maintain downstream river flows. The concrete spillway for
uncontrolled releases is 500 feet long, with a 100-foot notch in its center.
