The dam, standing at a height of 19 feet and stretching 460 feet in length, primarily serves the purposes of fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. With a storage capacity of 127 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1070 acres, this dam plays a vital role in water resource management in the Clinchfield Environs area.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the condition of Lea Glen Lake Dam is currently not rated. The dam's last inspection took place in January 2018, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam does not have a state regulatory agency overseeing its operations, it is subject to state jurisdiction and inspection. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam poses no immediate threat, but ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure its long-term resilience and safety for the surrounding community and ecosystem.
