The dam, situated on Brush Creek, serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 10 acres and a storage capacity of 14 acre-feet. With a height of 10 feet and a length of 275 feet, the dam is classified as an earth structure, providing a serene backdrop for outdoor activities in the area.
Despite its recreational value, Malott Lake Dam poses a significant hazard potential with a poor condition assessment. The last inspection in 2018 revealed the need for improvements, and the dam is under the regulatory oversight of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. With a high-risk classification, the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures need to be carefully reviewed and updated to ensure public safety in case of any unforeseen events.
The presence of Malott Lake Dam enriches the local environment, offering a peaceful retreat for water and climate enthusiasts. However, its maintenance and risk management aspects require attention to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the continued enjoyment of the recreational opportunities it provides. With proper oversight and improvements, Malott Lake Dam can continue to be a valuable asset for the community while safeguarding against any potential risks.
