The dam was completed in 1998, with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Cave Creek. Standing at 18 feet high and 1030 feet long, the dam has a storage capacity of 173 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9.85 acres.
Despite its significant hazard potential and poor condition assessment in 2012, the dam undergoes regular inspections every 3 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources regulates and permits the dam, with enforcement and inspection measures in place to mitigate risks and ensure compliance. This Earth-type dam plays a crucial role in flood risk reduction in the area, although its condition warrants attention and potential maintenance in the future. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Fieldstone Lake Dam stands as a key infrastructure for managing water flow and protecting downstream areas from flooding along the Cave Creek in Indiana.
