The dam, constructed using earth and stone materials, is regulated by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, ensuring its safety and compliance with state standards.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor, prompting the need for regular inspections and maintenance. The last inspection in September 2019 highlighted the dam's need for improvement. In case of emergencies, an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is crucial, although the current status of the EAP's preparation and adherence to guidelines is not specified. Overall, Lake Jordan Dam presents moderate risk (rating of 3) and may require risk management measures to enhance its safety and infrastructure resilience in the face of climate challenges.
