Standing at 9 feet tall and stretching 225 feet in length, this buttress dam provides a storage capacity of 247 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 55 acres. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway type is listed as uncontrolled, and the hazard potential is classified as low.
The dam, managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, has not been inspected since December 2002, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the condition of the dam is currently not rated. Despite lacking emergency action plans and updated inundation maps, the dam's risk management measures and safety protocols remain unclear. Despite these challenges, Jordan Mill Pond Dam offers a picturesque recreational spot within the Halls Crossing Environs for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and enjoy.
