The dam stands at a height of 33 feet and stretches 570 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 583 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 1657 acres. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for condition assessment.
Although the dam has not been inspected since 2011, it is deemed to have a moderate risk level (3) and is subject to inspection every 5 years. With no emergency action plan currently in place, it remains crucial for stakeholders to ensure that the dam's risk management measures are regularly reviewed and updated. Even though it is not regulated by the state, the dam plays a significant role in mitigating flood risks in the region and warrants ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in safeguarding the local community and environment.
