The dam, with a height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 138 acre-feet, serves as a crucial structure for water resource management in the area. Built by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the dam is classified as a buttress type with uncontrolled spillways and outlets.
Despite being rated as low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment due to its condition being not rated. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in December 2016, with a frequency of every 5 years. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk management measures, and inundation maps prepared are not available, highlighting potential areas for improvement in the dam's safety and emergency preparedness protocols. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Veteran Cemetery Lake Dam presents an opportunity to study the intersection of infrastructure, water management, and risk assessment in a unique environmental setting.
