The dam, standing at a height of 32 feet and stretching 670 feet in length, serves primarily for flood risk reduction along the Morea Creek, with a storage capacity of 998 acre-feet. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition was assessed as fair during its last inspection in February 2013.
With a drainage area of 2424 acres, Beaverdam Creek WS Str # 8 plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the region. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates present potential challenges in flood control, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The risk assessment for the dam is categorized as moderate, indicating the need for ongoing risk management measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure for both the community and the environment.
