The dam, primarily made of earth with a stone core, stands at a height of 26.4 feet and spans 300 feet in length. With a normal storage capacity of 115.5 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 179 acre-feet, the dam creates a surface area of 11 acres and drains an area of 300 acres.
Although Weaver Lake Dam is classified as having a low hazard potential, its risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. The dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The last inspection conducted in September 2018 revealed no significant issues, and the dam is subject to inspections every five years to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite not being regulated by the state, Weaver Lake Dam remains a popular spot for recreational activities along Quigg Branch.
In the event of an emergency, the dam does not currently have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, but the risk management measures for the dam are not specified. With its scenic location and potential risks, Weaver Lake Dam stands as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and preparedness for water resource infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.
