Completed in 1961, the Earth-type dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a storage capacity of 45 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 20 acre-feet.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this structure is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular state inspections, permitting, and enforcement. While its condition is currently not rated, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain to be determined.
