Completed in 1960, the dam stands at a height of 21.4 feet and has a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. The dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a relatively safe structure in terms of potential impacts on surrounding areas.
Despite being unregulated by the state and having no specific permitting requirements, Mallory Dam undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in October 2014. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and its condition is currently listed as "Not Rated." While the dam is not considered to be a high-risk structure, its location in the Newson Cemetery Environs adds an interesting historical layer to its significance, attracting water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the intersection of nature and human activity in this area of Georgia.
