The dam stands at a height of 10.7 feet with a hydraulic height of 10 feet, creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 51.2 acre-feet. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam holds a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition.
Although the dam itself has not been inspected since 2010, it is classified as having a moderate risk level. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are unknown. Despite these uncertainties, Vickers Lake Dam East remains a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts seeking recreational activities in the Colquitt County area. It serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between water resource management and public safety in the face of changing climate patterns.
