The dam stands at 14 feet tall and spans 800 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 430 acre-feet and a surface area of 36 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment due to its condition not being rated and a lack of emergency action plan preparedness.
Located within the Charleston District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Daughtery Lake Dam #1 is not federally owned or funded, and it is not regulated by the state. The dam has not been modified over the years and lacks a structured risk management plan. Despite its current condition assessment being "Not Rated," the dam's risk potential is deemed moderate, highlighting the need for improved emergency preparedness measures and regular inspections to ensure the safety and integrity of this recreational water resource.
